Need help with understanding WFP

[woodsy265]

Hi guys, basically I had my heart set on being a traditional window cleaner and didnt give WFP the time of day, however I did some ladder training at my grandfathers and I found i was no good up a ladder, have a mild fear of heights but I thought I would be able to overcome this, I couldn't lol.

So anyway I now want to do WFP, but a few things I dont fully understand.

Can you keep a water tank at home, purify the water there and then transfer it smaller tanks for a trolley system?

If to do above, will you need a outside garden hose to fill the tank?

Do you need a pump in the big water tank to transfer the pure water to the smaller tanks? and then a pump in the small tank on the trolley to deliver it up the pole/brush?

For the pure water do you need a filter system, a reading system for ppm, and then a pump to transfer it? are these all run by battery not plugged in?

Thanks for any help, probably some more Q's i forget as well.

Cheers

Im from Yorkshire so its a soft water area so just DI then? how long would this take in a 25l trolley system?

First off Woodsy buy a TDS metre, this way you can measure your ppm rating and then determine what you will need to buy. Filtration system or just a DI set up etc.

Where is the best place to buy these?

i doubt you'll get away with just di in yorkshire unless your very north, even if it's soft water the minerals in the soil come into play, i spoke to a windy in flamborough where the waters softish and was a tad surprised he needed ro.

you don't need a bilge pump to transfer-just raise the ibc about 2 thirds up the cage, prop it with 2x4's, put a 90 bend on the outlet and let gravity do the rest

I dont know West yorkshire bradford, got to be one of the best soft water areas?

Hi guys, just got my TDS meter, and the water reads at 95 ppm, what filter system do you think i will need. ta

I'd try just a DI with Tulsion Resin, check it on eBay

I agree with James, if your just starting out it would be far cheaper and easier to just use Di. You can always add an RO later but I doubt you would need to.

depends if on water meter too. RO's tend to waste a lot of water, u also need good water pressure (I bought a gauge off eBay for a tenner to check, it varies even from road to road depending on how hilly where u are).

RO will work out cheaper I think if use a lot of water, but if just doing tops prob easier to just use Di instead as above, certainly to start, can always get RO later on.

Yeh cheers will be doing tops WFP and bottom Trad, will get a DI vessel then.
