the claim was made that it would be different to anything else that was on the market.


the only difference was the shape of the tank and to me it looked top heavy and no claims about it being crashed test worried me,all the parts that made up the system you can buy off the self from any one else that supplies wfp system.


so for me it was a big NO

it doesn't pull the strings that the gippatank system does,that look very smart and well put together and all so crashed tested

[Smudger]

Look it up

You're making the claim, not me.

I had a hot one priced with Grippatank and it was much more expensive than any of the others ive looked into. What more do you want? Im sorry if my personal findings on this have offended you but thats how it is! 

No offence JD just wondering where the claims are coming from..

Grippa max. £2895.
Pure freedom £2616.57
Heat wave wcw £3144.75

All look similar in price to me, unless your comparing these with a cheapo gas DIY system ?

Hot for me is overrated and not worth the investment of 2.5k plus per van.

Grippa will always be more expensive but you can't compare them to other companies.

The diesel heater is around 2500 -3200 ££ as a bolt on. Even ionics do do a 2500£ bolt on hot box.

The difference is in the tank. Other companies like PF,
Xline etc are using cages and wydale tanks. So they will always be cheaper.

No offence taken mate. On the 16th May 2013 Oliver at Grippamax quoted me £8000 for a 2 man R.O Hotsystem! 8k, not £800 !! I have the e-mail and quote. I e-mailed him back to tell him i thought the price shocking & he didnt reply back! I highlighted this on the ACS forum at the time as well. If Oliver at Grippamax is reading this and wants to respond then id be very happy to hear from him.

I have since been quoted more recently for the cold water system & this was much more realistic.....

Thanks for that Franky. It's such a incredible price that I feared that folk on here would be thinking I was of my rocker !

I wouldn't worry what anyone thinks of you on here JD.
Some of us are lowlifes. Most are worse.

I have to say, I think it looks pretty smart...

Or at least I did until I saw how it was put together.  The way the actual tank is shaped looks top-heavy, with one side of the top bit not supported.



I did like the way sight gauge is built into the corner BUT it only goes halfway up!  And it starts a few inches above the bottom, so pretty useless.  Looks like a good idea, poorly executed.

I'm also not too sure about accessing the stuff inside.  Seems like you have to remove about 8 bolts and then take a metal cover off just to access.  I don't like that.  In my humble opinion, if you need to get at something regularly (like the resin bottle to change the resin, or the prefilters to change them) then it should be accessible without having to basically dismantle the machine.

Looks like they've tried desperately to make it look good, and sacrificed usibility to do so.

Also, what about baffling?  Please don't tell me those tiny pathetic little noodle holes on each side of the tank are what they consider baffling?!  If so, then it's completely inadequate and I would even say dangerous.



I'll stick with my Pure2o system over that one anyday.

Anyone know how much they cost?

[J.D]

Yeah but it looks pretty. 

[Scrimble]

looks like a basic upright unbaffled wydale tank which has been made to look all ergonomic and slapped with a massive price tag

pants and a waste of money

With respect J.D I believe you live over on the Emerald Isle, so the price you were quoted for fitting does not seem entirely unrealistic to me with all associated costs taken in to account.
 

[[GQC] Tim]

Looks nice! But you want the lowest centre of gravity possible, from that perspective this doesn't look good. Can't beat the GrippaMax on that one as it's very low in the van. Like mentioned above, can't see how this is going to be a great system. Nice, but very odd design. Does seem a bit tricky to service with all those bolts as well.

[J.D]

Andy, are you telling me that you believe  £8000 is a fair price for a 2 man R.O hotsystem from Grippamax , because i live in Ireland?

8k is the price of their hot system, whether you live in Ireland or Mainland. Only the fitting service is double whack for Ireland!

Its totally unjustifiable in my opinion &  only an unhinged person would pay that !

I didn't mention the total price you were quoted.
I was referring to the fitting charge. 

[Darren cockerill]

All the companies are around £8k if you are buying a diesel hot system that normally includes 2 pumps , frost stat poles reels etc some are a lot more expensive so unless you go diy grippatank aren't any more expensive
