But then it's cost you a bit more than the £1,100...

No not to set the 2nd van up as I've had a static system for years...

But yes I suppose it would cost a new start up a bit more than £1100 if they needed an RO System to - But you could probably do it for about £1500 all in.

Couldn't agree more bud.
I do like the look of the ionic kind of kit but the price still prohibits good business sense to me.

Hi All,

I've been kitting out our 2nd van this weekend... It's a 56 reg Citroen Dispatch 2.0 HDI (900kg Payload).

All I've done is install a 500L tank and a pump box (which included a leisure battery) - all from The Cleaning Warehouse... A total cost of £710.

When I add a hose reel and a SLX-25 pole the total cost will be around £1100. I can easily upgrade it to a 2 man system for around £500 if I ever need to.

It's pretty basic - But it's all you need!

Why do some spend thousands on a "Pro" system? Do they do anything different - Or do they just look a bit better?

Andy  ;)







We know what a DIY system looks like. Thinly veiled 'look at me I have 2 vans on the road thread' IMO.
We look at them, they look through them.

Ha ha. Not at all.

Just a post showing that you don't need to spend loads on a basic system if your just starting up.

The tank frame is secured through the van floor.

You cheapskate Andy lol

The reson I don't DIY is cos I'm lazy and I hate DIY! So it's easier for me to phone the supplier say what I need and a few weeks later I get the call to go pick up a fully fitted out van  ;D

Good luck with the 2nd van  ;)

Apart from the cost, one good reason for going DIY is that if a problem occurs, we're in a better position to fault find and sort it out quickly without having to rely on a third party to do it for us.

Yeh, but that just goes to prove my point.  I didn't DIY my RO/DI.  :-* ;D

I was a firm believer in DIY and my last system was great.

But you can't beat some of the aspects with pro systems.
