I love my trolley system. When I'm on the job I keep the trolley as close as possible to me so I don't need to use to much hose this saves on time unwinding and winding back up again. Its also great for areas where you can't get a van close enough to the job like the backs of houses and pedestrianised areas so you don't need to have hose running along the footpath or pavement which could cause an accident.

Exactly how I clean. Apart from i wind my hose around top of my trolley and take off what I need. I have a fishing trolley though for my b pack. I also don't fill my containers up too much as you do as they weigh a ton when full.😁 . I only get through 4 barrels a day as I only use it on ups mainly. I have a gardiners pole and b pack. My mates keep banging on about me getting a tank fitted in my boot but I will never do that as I like this system. Thanks for videos. Any chance of some demonstrations of you using that gear sometime?

Hi Stevie, yes I agree with you. I have used the van system but it really slowed me down and I found the 100m of hose a real pain. Ok, I would probably get used to it in time but I really like what I'm using already in the back pack. There are so many advantages. I generally only use 4 barrels too. I am working on some videos of demo's on how I use it. I am uploading some soon but they take an age because my internet is slow for HD.

Its a common question and a difficult one to answer. For a start many go for the cheapest option like a fibreglass pole. Not a good idea. Go for carbon fibre right away. I reckon you need to budget for at least £800. A good pole and brush is the main thing. A DI is also cheapest option but if the tap water in your area is over 150ppm (parts per million) pollution, then it becomes too expensive to run and a RO (reverse osmosis) system will be required. RO systems are initially quite expensive.

Hi Chris love your videos great tips. I have bought two kobold back packs trolleys £95 each they were great as lite and ideal trolley for my bad back, but 2 months in 1 the variable flow units bust and now flows like a jet spray ,replaced the part and it went a month later again. Now 2nd back pack playing up as well. Only work part time but going through water at a crazy rate. Can you recommend a better back pack trolley or stationary back pack, that has a reliable variable flow controller and lasts longer. As I don't want to risk buying two more and same problem arising. Brilliant idea about the stationary backpack and trolley and bungees.

+stevie keane Can't you just use a DI system instead? A RO system will be quite expensive. If you are only using about 100L per day, then it might be a better proposition. If your water is not too hard, then it might work. As for a recommendation for a RO system, I can't advise on this since I have not used one for over six years and I guess they have improved a lot since then. If you were to speak to someone at say Window Cleaning Warehouse, they will advise you on the best route to take.

@MyWagga

A DI system purifies the water using de ionisation. RO system by reverse osmosis. Di uses a tank with resin in it. RO uses filters but is required in areas where water is hard. RO is expensive and you might be better off using a DI. You will have to buy resin for DI but depending on how big your round is, it should last a while.

The first thing you need to do is to get a TDS meter and test your water to see how hard it is. If it's soft enough at around 100 parts per million, then you can get a DI vessel as you can see in my video complete with resin inside it so you can make pure water immediatly. If your water comes out at much more than 100 then get back to me.

SAJ Window Cleaners Ltd Hi Stuart, the best thing is that it won't grow any weeds! Wev'e had ours down for about 10 years and shows no signs of cracking. The colour has stayed pretty good and not much algae grows on it. If you get a really good company to do it and this is the key, then it beats block paving hands down. All I ever did with it is to give it a clear seal now and again and it looks like new again after a bit of a power wash but it never seems to deteriorate like block paving. I am going to try what is called "Pro-Kleen" that one of my customers recommended. You just spray it on and it kills everything instead of pressure washing when it don't need it. Against, well if you ever need to get to anything under your new drive then you can't patch it up like block paving but it would be extremely rare because technology allows pipes or cables to be routed under by special machines so you don't need to disturb the drive. Do some research into who's going to do the best job and see if there is a guarantee. I can't remember who did mine.
