are ionics tanks n stystems any good? looking at them for a new set up and wondered if you guys had any views-also are the tanks baffled?

[PoleKing]

Yes.
They are very good kit.
But you pay a premium for them.
If you have the money and are happy to part with it you won't go far wrong with them.
After sales is very good too.

For a lot less money you can get set up DIY though.
Exactly the same kit but you fit it together yourself.
Does the same job for c. 1/4 of the price.

the tanks are black so i assume they are baffled? and the cages look very well thought out.i'm just in two minds,done the diy bit but looking for something more proffessional this time-maybe this will be it

Fair enough.
What didn't you like about your DIY system that you couldn't get over if you were to DIY again?
You can have a tank made at loads of places exactly to your spec.

have to be honest darren,just bought a stystem off fleabay,300l for £260-comes with flow control/tds meter and pump.
i have heard ionics are good but think against what i could do diy there would be a difference in quality and the final finish of things.guess these guys have workshops for fabricating where i have my back garden and "cobble it"to fit in the van-both equally usable and does the job but one will look more finished than the other,important for me as i need to downsize a bit as me mate kempy had a cross with the vosa people on the weighbridge and had me thinking i need something a lot better than what i have

[ARWindows]

try concept 2o not as expensive but very impressive plus brilliant after sales service.

[PoleKing]

Fair enough.
My advice would be just have your tank in the van and nothing else bud if you're tight on weight.
Have all your purification kit at home (if circumstances permit)
+1 on ARW too.

[robert mitchell]

try pure2o they are ionics but the cheaper version , made and fitted at same place and same after sales service .

[james stanley]

Purefreedom wipe the floor with pure 2o , ionics and brodex for a good value for money system 

[dannymack]

Wouldn't touch ionic stuff. I bought an ergo light pole many years ago the clamps went after a few months, ended up spending fortune on new clamps I think they are tooooo expensive. They prob have quality stuff but then you will pay through the nose for them !!!! 😬

[robert mitchell]

Danny , the poles are awful in my opinion but the pure2o systems are good value considering they are crash tested and the price includes fitting .

They will price match pure freedom /brodex etc too.

[dannymack]

Robert you are defo right about the poles my one was crap. Lamps didn't last and expensive to replace. Not sure about the systems they do m8 as I've stayed clear of Ionics. The same as Omnipole tooooo expensive, if stick with Gardiners not only is there stuff very good but after sales is fantastic &  Alex is always on hand to help out 👳👳👳

[kempy]

Nice one kev , think your be happy with it . Especially as legally your limit will be 490-500 litres.

Add another tank or several 25 litre drums

[trippyboy]

Loadsa money 

[kevinc]

feel happy about the buy after your weighbridge thing kempy,specially as i used to go past that weighbridge with a 1000l tank full to the brim and the van swaying all over-got sensible now,only using what i need now for the day-maybe a di just in case to add if more new work comes along during the day

[Scrimble]

Purefreedom wipe the floor with pure 2o , ionics and brodex for a good value for money system 

rubbish, purefreedom still use the dog turd unbaffled wydale tanks where as pure20 use proper polypropylene baffled tanks,

massive difference IMO

[kevinc]

this is the thing are the ionics tanks baffled better?well anything is going to be better than a wyvale but are they much better?

[AuRavelling79]

Wyvale?

I cannot believe the reasoning behind the OP's comments.

His mate gets done for overloading so he needs to buy an Ionics system? Where's the logic in that?

[kevinc]

no granville,i need to reduce the size of my tank,i tend to fill the tank for the day whether its a 1000l or a 300l (i try to be prepared for whatever the day throws at me)this tank came up v cheap on fleabay and would limit the payload to a more tolerable level,i just wondered what these stystems were like as in build quality and if the tanks were baffled which i'm sure they are thats all

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

Can someone tell me what wyevale tanks are please?
