Intro
I Will not go into too much detail on
"What is the methods of Using Pure Water and the Water fed pole system"

A Quick intro in layman terms
You Purify Water Using the RO or DI unit taking out all the Limescale, calcium etc,
This is then stored in a Water Butt in a garage or Shed
this is then Transported to Site (Customers homes) in Barrels
The Barrel is then placed into the Trolley / Cart (note no filling of Trolleys, why waste time ????)
You then Pump the pure water to the brush head
brush on the Water and then rinse the glass with the jets from the brush
then Walk away leaving the glass to dry clean

The Start
First Off you will need a Rain Water Butt or similar container



Then RO Unit

Connect the RO unit upto the mains water Supply
Run the RO waste pipe to the Drain (or a tank to water the plants in the Summer)
Run the Pure Water Outlet pipe into the WaterButt
Mine is stood on a Stand i made, Made out of 75mm X 25mm Timber


Notice the nice and tidy garage :-) i am having building work done, thus its a bit of a mess


I use a 60 Gallon RO unit with DI cylinder
it produces enough water for me to work each day
I see MANY people get oversold with the output they need
Why have a RO unit that produces 700 L a day when you will only need 200 L ??
THE RO MAN, 50 GALLONS A DAY RO unit with DI @ £69.95p
OR
THE RO MAN, 75 GALLONS A DAY RO unit with DI @ £85.00p
While ordering, get a Handheld TDS METER for £17.75p
This will make your order with RO-man free postage

The Cart, Pole and Brush
This is the action Part, If you have seen the more expensive Carts
You will know they have to be refilled every so Often (Why waste that time ???)
This Way you only have to change the Barrel over

Now the Cart / Trolley



The Cart will take 2 Barrels of water, BUT i find it hard work with 2

Personally i prefere the Sack Truck Idea anyway.

so i only use 1 barrell, i have been working on a sack truck design

Sack Truck Cost about £20
you have to have a little welding done to let it carry the barrel, welding cost £30


I then painted the welding with hamerite, to stop the rust

The pump box will fit on the sack truck the same as the Trolley

You will notice the power pack on the frame of the cart
This last me all day (8 - 9 hours use)then i recharge over night

Connected to a 10 m Hoselock micropipe which is run outside the pole
