Gone Big!

Evenin' All,

Just wanted to share my new setup.

Build up Story.....

I started WFP with a Surflo Backpack and 25ltr barrels. I then built a trailer with a shelf for the Backpack and 6 barrels with a caravan pump to fill.

As the principle of this worked I got a Brenderup 1150 trailer with a 250ltr tank and bilge pump.......OK till I employ and the backpacks keep failing.

I then put 100psi pumps on with controlers and 2 hosereels............fine but in the open it gets water in the controllers and with 2 of us we're topping up twice a day.

So...........I looks on E-Bay for a box trailer.............A Ha! there's an old "Reach and Wash" Ifor Williams system up for peanuts......Place a bid

BINGO....gets it for peanuts

Get it home...looks at all the **** poles and the old 40" Filter system.....scratching our heads ???

"What you wanna do with it?" my mate asks.

"Rip it out!"

So we're left with a Trailer and 1000ltr Tank. We fit 2 pumps and controllers, 2 hose reels and away it goes.....perfik ;-)

Only half fill the tank and out we go on Mon morning with my Skoda Octavia 1.6....it's towing weight is 1200kg....I weigh the trailer.......1450kg...........

DOH..........

Cutting a long story short I get a Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5................View attachment 2114View attachment 2115View attachment 2116View attachment 2117

Yes..........it's the original outlet connected to the tank tap.....I didn't think it would work but plenty of water

if i could i would, ive got to fit 7 days work into 5 days that week, 2 days window cleaning and 3 days taking out and re fitting a kitchen so be early starts and late finishes for me.

Not really....bear in mind I've always used a trailer.Yes a Trani size van would, business wise, be ideal but we wanted a van AND personal car but can't afford 2 veihcles.

So this unit is just the job....for me
