Minimum WFP setup cost

[Pit Creature]

So I’ve just started a small round with a trad setup. Thinking for awkward work like conservatory roofs and windows above conservatories that a wfp system would come in handy.

I’m trying to price it up but i’m not sure what i’d need to buy to do this? 

Is there anything else I’d need apart from this?:

Gardiners backpack

Pole/brush

Water storage

Pure water

Any advice?

Thanks

I’ve got a full van system for sale if your interested. Only 4 months old. Used once. Full system cost just over £1700 looking for £1200.

20m of pole hose so you don't have to drag a full backpack to each window 

I have 30m on mine and just leave it by the side gate or in my van if parked on a driveway most of the time

Don’t think I could invest that much at this point. Haven’t got a van for it anyway!

You have the basics ?

p.s. you shouldn’t start a sentence with ‘so’ ??

If you're only doing it for the odd window above the conservatory why not just connect a DI vessel to the customers outside tap (which is in turn connected to your pole).

You only need to use pure water for glass conservatory roofs. In most cases (ie: for polycarbonate roofs) I just connect my WFP directly to the customers tap.

Will you be buying your pure water in?

I guess I’d have to.

I might try that. What does DI vessel stand for?

Because it wouldn’t be as effective on its side

What wouldn’t? Not sure what you mean.

Sarcasm mate ?

Deionised water. The vessel is what holds the resin ?

Anyone had experience with this sort of thing? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F352087752935

Is this for if you purify your own water?

That would be a van mount lol

Tried that for a while but my town doesn't suit it with all the alleyways etc to backs

Backpack on trolley with 30m pole hose is perfect

Tank in van with bilge pump to fill backpack quickly

20m pole hose great idea all tho find pole hose kinking terribly. Which pole hose best for not kinking??

Was thinking of using Ro tubing and connecting to bottom of pole using j guest surely then it would put an end to kinking??

This is the quest for the holy grail. You will get several different answers, but, unfortunately, all the pole hoses twist or kink.

I’ve found this out the hard way throughout the years, I’ve now a big collection of them

Think I might just get this a cheaper option that would be useful for awkward windows and conservatories.

Any thoughts?
