Always makes me laugh when people say system, its a battery a pump, and a controller slapped on a tank.
That`ll be 3 grand please sir....
If you want to pay an extra 2 grand they will happily slap an ro/di/b2b on there for you
get your pants down ready ;
D.I.Y sounds great in fact on my first system that's exactly what I did it was delivered on a pallet. I remember getting my local garage to bolt the tank frame to the floor which they did with spreader plates on my old Ford Connect. TCW fits for free if you have a system off them but as I'm looking for a flat lay tank this time around I'm going to have to look elsewhere because they only sell upright versions.
I was led to believe that if your tank wasn't professionally fitted then your insurance would be void. I've just renewed my insurance with Howden who I've been with for a while at a cost of only £360. Very cheap I thought.
I always declare my tank is DiY bolted through the floor. Never had a problem with insurance.
No issues paying out after my significant prang of 2023.
No problem getting insurance afterwards.

I have had several diy systems that I have made. Then I bought a brand new transporter 4 motion.
I had fitted a Gripatank 650 with 2 x 21"x 4" Ro. It was expensive, but I was concerned with the cost of the new van, I wanted a crash tested system with engineers certificate of fitting. The main reason was I wanted to know the insurance, if I had a prang could not say it was not fitted properly.
Does it work any better no.
If I had another new van I would do the same.
I've come to realise I'm like a social worker most of the time. Trying to reduce the chatting now and have a quick excuse up my sleeve to move on. In the end its up to us to run our business and we don't need the hassle. Going digital is a good excuse to force customers to go DD or you say I can't continue because I need digital paper trail.
