Title: my van is on new grippatank website
Post by: robert mitchell on October 02, 2013, 09:12:14 pm
As the title says , RM hampshire it says above the photos.

They fitted my secondhand gardiners/grippatank tank and frame , this was the development 650 tank as sold to me by Alex gardiner.

They also made a bespoke system using the components from my old ionics/pure20 system .

There were a few teething problems (mostly caused by swarf from drilling the tank getting into the pump) all sorted now .

Overall pretty pleased with the finished product .

They also fitted a split charge relay and i have never had to charge the battery since , this is a secondhand car battery that i brought for £30 on ebay (900 amps cranking /100ah- its a big boy!) been using this battery for over a year.

I did make a few adjustments to the plumbing for two reasons , to fit a sight gauge and because i thought the long pipe run to the pump was causing problems with the pump (wouldnt pump once water was below the level of the pump).  This turned out to be swarf from the tank being drilled for the float valve getting into the pump.

I also changed the bolts where the di vessel strap was mounted as i couldnt undo the nut without the bolt turning, fitted locknuts then wing nuts for easier removal .

May still change it again to a quick release strap.
