« on: March 24, 2016, 02:22:14 pm »
is it grippa tank? xline? or somebody else?

i'm looking for reliability and (failing that!) after sales service

cost is not the most important factor

If I was buying a new system tomorrow I'd be talking to Grippatank - finish the setup with some nice Gardiner poles....

I've had mine now for a year. Best system I've ever had.  No regrets

Do you like the colour orange?  if not don't buy an xline system
Speaking of colour what is it with women especialy my missus as that is the first thing they say I like that one. Doh!  ;D

Grippatank

Looks very good.

I've got a new van on order and will be getting a 850ltr Grippa system. How do you find it with the hose going through the floor? I'm thinking of doing the same but is it aggro bending down under the van to get the hose?

Thanks
Tom

Everyone ask that lol.

I set up my hose and pole hose in the morning. I then throughout the day put the pole on the roof of the van on the outside. I have two rhino roof brackets making a V and pole sits in that.

I dont even bother traping hose in the doors now as the reels never unwind.

Turn up to next job, take pole off roof, walk to job and the hose comes out. I have now, 70m mirobore and 50m pole hose LOVE it!

I was really worried when working as two man team on how bad this roller setup would be but if i do say so myself. It's bloody perfect lol.

I am having custom rollers made now out of stainless as have a new idea i am working on  ;)

"Best" is a relative term of course, as it depends what your priorities are!

When I bought my system a few years ago I looked around at what was on offer and there was a clear winner (if cost is no issue) and it was ionics zero system.

If I'd had the cash I'd have bought it, but it was out of my price range. I went for pure2o instead (ionics 'value' brand) and it has served me perfectly.

Not knocking any other companies when I say this, but having seen a few of them like grippa, X-line, etc etc they are all a bit 'Fred in the shed' compared to ionic. I'm sure they're fine, but there's no getting away from the fact that ionics are operating on a whole different scale to them.

If I was buying again, I would probably not get the RO and stuff in the van, I'd get a garage tank that was constantly filling and just top up the tank from it. One thing I would definitely like is hot water, so my dream system would be ionics thermo delivery system:
