Post by: CF Facilities on September 06, 2017, 09:17:04 pm
Hi not a prostate problem  ;D but I just wondered if anyone has bought a van mount system from this company.
I hear the electric reels are good but has anyone any experience in buying the full kit.

Thank you

Ps cant aem to find the search button anymore

Just had my Renault trafic kitted out by them last month.

Can't fault it at all, no teething issues or problems. Everything works flawless. They fitted it on a Saturday for me To prevent downtime too.

They forgot to take off the polystyrene packaging before they fitted it.  ;D

Looks good  :)

From a guy that has only ever DIY'd though; with the wiring for the controllers going into were the tank is enclosed, is moisture effecting the connectors and wiring not a potential issue?

The blue does look better I must admit, but the safety aspect of it put me off so I asked for the hi vis. I do some Early morning work and the blue hose is too easy to trip over, probably would be me tripping over it most the time.  ;D

So far there is no sign of it, the tank is thicker than most tanks I've seen before, so not sure if this will avoid that problem.

if your having it installed in a brand new van  with smart tech , make sure they are fitting a battery to battery charger and not a split charge relay , regards alan

I bought the power up HD with remote control.looks great on the video when they just press the key fob and walk back to the van as it all reels in.But! when i get back to the van all the hose is snagged up.takes 10 mins to untangle it.what a waste of time.It shouldnt be sold with a remote key fob if it doesnt actualy work properly.Anyone else had this problem?

Your right!

I had mine fitted and that was the only ball they dropped. They had to wire it up as direct charge, but I also bench charge my battery up as needed so it's fine for me.

Runs two power ups and two pumps all day no problem.

It would be an issue if you can't bench charge though I think.

They have offered to sort it for me though, so very happy with their service.

I was told if you direct charge it the leisure batteries life is seriously shortened , trust me I spent ages sorting out the same problem , you need to install the sterling power battery to battery charger asap regards alan

Thanks Alan, I will look into it a bit more. I've heard the sterling battery to battery is a good unit.

Just over £4K for the full set up supplied and fitted.

I dropped the van off 9am Saturday and they we're done by 3pm.

Tank fitted through the floor of the van, 2 powered reels, 2 shur flo pumps, 2 controllers, split charge relay, rollers at the back for security, and pole storage.

Really happy with it. :)

I have found the same, the hose will jump off the real and jam under the sides.

I direct charge mine and they last OK.

Main thing to avoid is letting battery run too low, this will decrease its capacity to hold a charge. I simply run a lead to van from garage and charge each night (use an intelligent charger). Easy and quick to do.

Would a 'lead in' guide suspended from the roof help?  That way the hose would always feed on to the reel from in front, instead of from one side or the other.

The top one has been installed wrong.

It's clearly downside up.

dont talk to me about pulling the hose off the reel,it just keeps spinning and gets in a right mess

Title: Re: Waterworks
Post by: mike1986 on September 11, 2017, 10:11:42 pm
I have this system and I would say the only downsides are that you can not drain the tank in any way other than through the brushes. Also it is a bit sloshy when driving around. Other than that it's excellent

They are baffled, but could do with a little bit more to be honest. It's not major, but you can feel it slightly. You can always add your own baffle balls or pipes if you feel it's a major issue.

I know what you mean. I've added a little bilge pump to it, connected to a battery. Means it can kick out 40 litres per minute to empty the tank.

I never have that problem mind you.

Youve got to not pull the reel really hard as it will over spool, but I just walk at a normal pace and its fine.

I heard that Jordan is sending out a gadget soon to adjust the tension.
