what is your main work domestic,commercial i have seen the machine in prochem chessington,its very neat and modern looking would be perfect for your van
however i have the blazer gt in a long wheelbase high top vivaro its a bit weighty when your carrying everything
i would recommend the gt even in your van,i would imagine some of the more powerful portys would do a similar job to the saphire and save yourself a bundle of dough,if your going to a tm start with the gt in my opinion

No portable compares anywhere near the Sapphire truckmount.  Dont be fooled by its compact size.  Its been cleverly designed without the loss of usual truckmount performance

If its the Sapphire Rage your looking at then look at the specs side by side with the Blazer GT.  Same engine and a vacuum blower giving more CFM than the Blazer GT.

I have been looking at hose reels but the uk seem to have a very limited stock over the pound they have wall mounted ones and slimmer ones even roof mounted ones. I'm just trying to find the best for space and weight is there any in the uk you guys know of that are wall and roof mounted also can I direct feed from the machine as when I spoke to prochem they said there's was to just carry the hoses and its very heavy and to big really.

if you r still thinking of the 'Rage' check the drive belts- I think its a major operation to change them.  I think Prochem take a day to do it

you could save (!) weight with the Water Pond from Prochem

Water pond electric hose reel & water tank
Space-saving water tank and electric hose reel combination unit. This slide-in unit is the solution for hose storage and expanded fresh water capacity! The water tank holds 454 litres of fresh water and the reels hold up to 250 feet of vacuum and solution hose. Vacuum hose reel is motorized for fast hose retrieval. Paint lock finish assures that the unit won’t rust or corrode.
Code SS682 £3,295.00
 

Yes indeed a real snip at £3295 - you could probably get one made for a lot less than that with live solution reel

If you put that water pond in the back of a Renault Traffic you would not be able to get anything else in probably not even the truckmount,
thats if it would even fit in the first place.
Try Hydramaster they will make one whatever size you like.
