I have this and it's great.

It would struggle as an all day system, but it's rare I clean windows all day.

As a back up I carry 25 litre containers filled with water filtered through this tanks RO nad DI. When required I just top up the tank.

There was a 250DI on ebay a few weeks ago, went for £280 I think.

I'd agree that The Cleaning Warehouse is worth Stry. They do fitted systems too.

Without a doubt, had my van and system not have come up for sale when they did I'd have bought new from them.

To be honest, I messed them around a bit (unintentionally), and especially Joe, but he was never anything less than polite.

If you check out your vans payload, I would go for the biggest size tank the van can legally take so you aren't worrying about running out of water. 400-500ltrs is a decent size. I'm not sure of the payload though.

The window cleaning warehouse look good I spoke to a nice chap yesterday from there I think he said £1400 without ro and if I'd just used my merlin for production..
I'm confused weather to keep the merlin or ditch it!! Also how hard is it to install with van ports??
Would your 350L fit in a caddy?!?

^ this.

250 litres doesn't seem much at all. I've got a 650l tank and regularly get through that on commercial jobs. Bigger = better imo.

yes a 350l would fit in a caddy, installing the frame/tank is a case of drilling holes in the floor and using some nuts and bolts to bolt it down, not difficult at all,

i personally dont use van ports and wouldnt, dont see the point in lifting a heavy hose reel into and out of the van up to 40 times a day,
