Hi guys. Put a post on here a few days back not knowing what system to go for. I’m a one man band and want something as easy to use as possible. I’ve done my research and come back with two options I’m looking at....

1..... PF option....

500 litre upright system tank and cage.
Large battery
Fitted flow master
100psi shurflo pump
Fitted battery to battery charge system (split relay so I can charge from van battery I think?)
Trolley dump(can fill my backpack lol)
Hose reel 100 m
All fittings
Bolt kit to bolt tank down
1 metre blue hose for trolley dump

All for £2200.00 with an optional extra for them to fit and me to drive to Lincolnshire for an extra £400. So £2600.00 total(or £3000 if I want to upgrade to an electric hose reel)

OR
2... 425 Litre Facelift system with brackets and ready to install for £1158.00. Won’t have trolley dump and will need to find someone to install it for me...

Big difference in price. Question is which one? Would the Facelift be just as good as the PF?

Cheers

Personally for just a basic cold system I’d go for a waterworks one it incorporates the reel on the top of the system so more space if you are limited.

[NWH]

Everything built within the systems footprint.

Cant comment on other systems but I’ve had a Purefreedom for 6 years and it hasn’t missed a beat. No leaks, breakages etc. Very well made. I’m sure others are too

[Suffolkcleaners]

Got a transit custom so quite  a bit of room. I wonder if the facelift will be just as easy and efficient to use as the PF options..

Anybody on here have the Facelift? If so how good is it?

[KS Cleaning]

If you are getting the facelift system you will be better just using the reel and not bothering with a trolley dump. As the day goes on and the water level drops it will be next to useless for filling a backpack as it’s not an upright tank.

I’ve got the facelift compact 425 system in my Nissan  nv200, gives me loads of water with lots of room for extra equipment.

Perfect for me but I sure the lads with other systems would say theirs was perfect.

It’s what works for you.

[Suffolkcleaners]

Cheers KS. There is a 650 Phoenix option also but that’s the same money as the PF option almost

Hi I’ve got a 700 litre  P2 platinum  they have a hose for backpacks and do a 350 and 500 very litre 1 and 2 man user and good value

Is this 'trolley dump' just a T piece off the tank hose with a gate/lever valve on it? If so, it's a tenners worth of parts.

[andyralph]

No u have a lever at the bottom of the tank with pipe attached to a trigger easy

[Suffolkcleaners]

Thanks Andy. Around £2400 for a 500 litre delivery only. Looks smart. They all look good Lol.

I’m not sure. PF have quoted but haven’t broken down the individual prices Of each piece of equipment. I’m still baffled (pardon the pun with baffled tanks) as to why the earth there isn’t a universal bracket on the market to fit all tanks. 😜

[NWH]

The waterworks come ready to just connect to battery and fill up with water I believe from what I’ve seen.

[Suffolkcleaners]

Hi NWH

This waterworks system just googled them based in Corby. Cool. Thanks for that. Will check them out also..... 👍

[stu_thomson]

I have the 425 facelift and is perfect for me, had it about 4 years now, strap in van and ready to go, also have the smaller version as a back up in a trailer

[Suffolkcleaners]

Hi Stu/Ralphie

Do you have the Manuel or electric hose reel? Also did you get a garage to install it or is it easy to DIY? Is the hose reel good quality also? Easy to reel in etc etc. Do you work with the hose reel freestanding or fixed in? Cheers

[stu_thomson]

Both my systems came with manual reel which is already bolted onto tank, I changedmy main system that I Use on a regular basis to a electric reel  which has the same footprint as the manual so just go on to existing holes which are pre-drilled in the tank, both tanks are easily lifted  with two people and ratchet strapped into Van, honestly couldn’t be more simpler !

Stu

[Suffolkcleaners]

Thanks for that Stu. I’m seriously considering this option now. Quite  a bit cheaper than the PF option. (Not that it’s all about cost bit it’s only me in the business) Is there no option to bolt the tank in rather than ratchet strap it? When I contacted WCW earlier they said there were brackets to install it?

[swanson]

I have a varitec system
400 litre caged tank.
All I can say is they are extremely well made and a very professional company to deal with.
