I would definitely wait till Gardiners new system is one the market, if only to compare.
Ionics is highly overrated still in my opinion. The only thing they have got going for their systems is the crashtest. Apart from that, pure water is pure water.
I have spoke to pure freedom ( nice people ), But its about 4 1/2 hour drive from mine to their place, but they are one of the cheapest
Pay me half the difference between the ionics system and pure freedom on cost and I will personally drive to get your van and deliver it back, I would not mind driving for a couple of grand for a days work. I have a pure freedom set up in one of my vans, they do what they are meant to and are not expensive to maintain, where another market leader is highly expensive for certain items you have to buy from them ie resin vessals
If the difference in price is that much, i might as well drive up to Pure Freedom and take wife and kids to sunny Grimsby too for a couple of days
well worth the drive Darren
They are a good relyable system easy and cheap to maintain.
They will listen to you and wont sell you what you dont need, if you go explane what sort of window work you will be doing
what van you will be haveing and they will advise you what size tank you need.
as for safety cannot be more happy the way my system was fiitted, the only way that tank will move is when they take it out and put it in my next van LOL
if you need any training they can arange for you to go with a city and guild trained window cleaner for the day free of charge.
some thing they dident do when I had mine fitted by them great guys very help full im very satisfied with their after service they got me up and running and ready for work the next day.
Go and have a look you wont be disapointed 10 out of 10 for me
happy WFP hunting
PS if you need a van ask them they may be able to help
