Should I get a pump or use backpack?

[Reach For The Glass]

Hey guys.

Ok stuff I have so far is

Van

350 ltr wydale tank

2 x slx poles , 18 and 25

Gardiner backpack

All trad gear

Ladder

Step up

Scraper

Ubik 2 x 5ltr

Microfibers

Now I'll be buying my water as I have nowhere to store it.

Should I invest in a

Pump

Contoller

Battery

Hose reel

Is this all I require to go van mount?

Any recommendations on the above equipment what to get and where to buy?

How hard is it to set up.

Thanks chaps

Arrrrgggghhh a lot to answer too busy but prepare for bombardment later.

If you're buying your water and that pure us going straight in tank then yes all you need is a pump a battery and hose reel. You don't even need a controller really depending on you pump and jet size etc. I use a cheap 15 quid pump direct with no controller and I find the flow perfect.

I'm sure there's a thousand ways to complicate but yes that's all you NEED

Oh right I assumed a controller was needed also.

My reason for the consideration was to make my poles tubeless. Save time filling back pack and save my back carrying the thing around.

Well most people will tell you it is needed to protect your the pump etc. Like I said I use 4lpm cheap pump so I don't care too much.

 

[Scots lad]

Don't carry a back pack put it on a trolley and pull it around

I wasn't really planning on carrying it around whilst cleaning to be honest just whip it out the van and dump it on the floor next to the house.

Just trying to justify the extra expense for pump battery control unit etc
