1 x 650 litre tank = £220
2 x hose and reels = £200
2 x pumps = £170 (ish)
2 x flo controllers = £130 (ish)
1 x can protectacote = £65 (ish)
Some other bits and bobs = £30 (ish)

Total cost for system = £617 (ish) plus the cost of RO/DI, holding tank, and transfer pump (I don't know how much ROs cost these days).

You could spend £3.5K, but at the end of the day, it's just pure water coming out of a brush head, and the money you save you could spend on top notch poles and a better van.

As for poles I would say the same, get an slx, a 25 will do almost all domestic work. Don't bother with glass fibre or hybrids as in the long run you will end up getting a carbon pole anyway and the slx is the best on offer at a reasonable price.  It's a tried and tested pole by many on here.

As for the system, tosh is right build your own and save a bucket.  You need to know how it all works anyway.  If your thinking of going hot then this place does a good hot package.

Hi Doors
Stick with PureFreedom they have been around longer than the others, as the comments state the other copy systems are slightly cheaper but offer nowhere near the quality and back up.

Craig is a good guy, defiantly one to consider. He lives near me and I see he has plenty of happy customers.

Pure Freedom prices are still low as I had a quote two weeks ago, your price must include poles and hose reels etc. Also the pure freedom system has a substantial stainless steel cage, far better quality by far. I've had systems off them before and they are sound, good engineers these people.

Most people on here build their own me included. My whole system cost £1200 4 years ago including backpack, two reels and backpack. My local garage fitted my tank via my van chassis and the rest I done myself.
