Picked up new system last week. Only just so a few minor teething problems as we both get used to each other but so far so good, lovely using hot water after 5 years on cold, feels like putting your hands back in a hot bucket without actually getting wet! Roll on winter!

The other big change is moving on from DIY. Im not knocking it and i don't even agree with the old 'hot water cleans better than cold' nonsense but it certainly feels better, brush glides better, cleans quicker and supple hosing, no pole hose coiling up as much as it used to either.

New issues are..gone to fixed reels in van and i do seem to get slacker hosing on the reel, trying to be more careful not over pulling out etc and guiding back on tighter but also caused a kink today by overlapping a slack piece of hose and as more supple it just squashed it and therefore no water. Definitely beats lifting reel in and out of van though and nowhere near as knackering!

Great team at Concept 2o and what a lovely looking machine, given me a huge sense of pride to see it and one i now feel proud to show it off to anyone that will ask (not that it happens much though)

May I ask how much?
Got any pics?

Will add some tomorrow. I'd rather not discuss cost, all i will say its second hand but looks brand new with mostly new parts  apart from a few fittings the only giveaway was the faded sticker on the RO housing.

thanks for the picture,

are those tanks not baffled? where is the gas bottle? can the the tanks be lifted out? or are they secured down?

not knocking your set up but set aside concept20's sales pitch of its premium product you can see the set up is still basically a tank or 2 with a pump and a gas heater in a metal frame with a cover on the front,  nothing that cannot be replicated and improved with ease DIY, I was told by someone that the concept20 heater is just a repackaged cointra cob-5 avaliable online for under £200

No not baffled but twin tank and minimal movement tbh. Tank is under chassis.

Regarding your DIY vs their system, I say show me a better one. Of course it's basically an improved DIY, aren't all pro systems? If only we all had the same time and resources as manufacturers we'd all have one.

I certainly hope so as it would certainly look a little embarrassing having to ask for problem solving on here!

Thanks for the thumbs up chaps

I use hot all year round just because I can...I'm sure you will too

The frame heats up as well doesn't it ?

Are you on the pop damo 

Myself I've had one or two Kraken shots so might end up getting my worms in a mucking fuddle

If it only adds one degree of comfort I'd chuck it away - you want at least thirty of them.

Your eyesight must be better than mine as I see no pipes going into the frame bud.
Mind after saying that my blood must be 70% proof by now so don't take any notice from me.

[Clever Forum Name]

Two silver pipes coming from the floor unless it's the LPG tanks?

Seen one in the flesh and it looked the frame is heated ?

[Smurf]

Might be some sort of radiant van heater for all I know bud?
