I've decided to get a professional system fitted to the van as my DIY system is playing up.
Looking at pure freedom. Who else should I consider?
Would like a two man, 750/800l with electric reels.
I've been reluctant to get electric reels as I dont find it particularly difficult to reel in manually but my two mates swear by them. Are they that good?
Cheers

Not that many out there, Grippatank, Ionics and PF is the 3 I know of. I have always had electric reels and they haven't missed a beat.

Pure freedom or Ionic’s are good I would give the other company mentioned a miss

Make sure your van has the required payload, that’s a lot of weight to carry.
I wouldn’t be without my electric reel.

I was sceptical about electric hose reels, never felt manual reeling was a problem but im at that stage where i need to make things as physically easy as possible, so got one. Had to send the controller back recently as the wires were visible in 4 places on the curly wire so was without it for a week. Boy did i miss it. Wouldn't want to be without one now.

The PF reelmaster is a beast and bullet proof. The only downside is they weigh 23kg so 2 will be over 50kg with 100m on each reel. You could buy the PowerUp reels which are a lot lighter but they are usually nowhere near as reliable.
Whats wrong with your current DIY system?

After plenty of teething problems in first 3 months, my Grippatank system hasn't missed a beat. Maybe I'm just lucky but any problems I just email Oliver and he puts me right. I always stick with something till it goes wrong so after 6 years its great. Its a hotwater system and hasn't let me down yet but get it serviced every 3 years.

I am set up as a two man system but work on my own, the other pump was as a back up.
One day the one I was using stopped working mid job. I didn't fit the system so I called a mate who is pretty clued up and we went through a number of things to see whether we could get it working again and it wouldn't.
Both have new pumps, 6 months old. Im on the other pump now and it will only pump a decent flow if you turn it up to 10. Not sure thats good for the pump. Just cant afford to be off the road for a week while the bloke who fitted it looks at it (he's slow to help as he isn't a very nice person).

Just buy a pair of pumps if the rest of the system is fine?
