Ok guys,picking up my new Vivaro next week and am looking to go for a Brodex 500 system,has anybody got their systems  and what do you think of them.

[Pete Thompson]

Brodex lol!

They’ve gone bust about 10 times and started up again. Don’t expect any warranty to be worth anything.

Personally I think they’re a shady lot and I’d avoid like the plague.

I went with Pure2o for both my vans (a 400 litre first, now a 700 litre). Top notch systems, highly recommend.

Avoid brodex!

Best value for money factory fitted system out there is waterworks in my opinion.

Grippatank is the best in my opinion also, but as with anything, they cost more.

I've got a Brodex it's 10 yrs old and I haven't had the slightest problem with it.
Very robust plastic baffled tank all brass Rectus 26 fittings Shurflo pump with tailor made hoses and connectors and auto shut off filling it's good kit.
On the downside their customer service / delivery is not the best to say the least.
I added a spare DI vessel and they are fitted with elbow Rectus fittings I couldn't find anywhere else, they took about a month to arrive!

 I also had a 500L Brodex system in my old van, and had no problems with it, they are as Granny said a well built
solid system, but Brodex's afters sales customer care hasn't had a good reputation for years.

[P @ F]

I wouldn’t use them , as said above , quality was good years ago but it seems all other companies have moved forward yet they have gone backwards IMHO

[P @ F]

Also things must be dire to have to txt window cleaners and offer them your latest alloy poles as they did with me at Christmas

[SB Cleaning]

Go to cleaning warehouse in Wolverhampton and speak to Joe for a system,good kit at a good price

Hmmm,maybe a Facelift system perhaps

i know one guy who uses a 500L brodex system...to be fair it seems like a decent set up.......if i was having a new system fitted though id have a grippatank system installed as i think their baffled tanks are the best on the market....but its your money...do what you feel is best for you.....

if you want some thing easy to maintain  i would strongly recomend purefreedom Why very basic and simple to maintain'  no bells and whistles I've  had a couple of set ups can't fault them so if any thing should go wrong 9 times out of ten you can fix it on site👍

Yes,very true,I have one at the  moment but just thought of  trying another  company.

My DIY system (650 ltr) was super cheap, it earns me money every week.
If anything goes wonky, i installed it, so 99% of the time i know what it is and how to fix it
Each to their own but Daz's super charged, super expensive system that gives him days out in Grimsby or wherever every so often is not for me.
I dont want to have to earn an extra 12 grand or whatever a Grippa Heated/elecric reeled super complicated system costs

[dazmond]

i know window cleaners that have spent £6k on cold water systems.......
