That's The Biggest Load Of Crapp I Have Ever Seen

looks dangerous to me from looking at the brackets in the pic.
also outside hose connections would get damaged. Maybe you should only install under bumper on a metal plate.
I am guessing you are aware that you can get a 4040 ro system professionally installed for less than you are charging for a lesser diy install system and you also get a secure tank frame included.

my advice would be to go back to the drawing board and also learn from the comments we are making because at the end of the day we are all window cleaners, and we are your target market, yes we will criticise most things, but this can only be of help to you "if you use the replies wisely".

Does that van tilt to the right with just the driver too? Where is the tank vent? I wouldn't want my pump box and electrics under that filler cap.
Honestly that's hardly a "Pro" system there - quite the opposite - sorry.

Im not WFP, but those pipe outlets are definately an MOT fail.

I wouldnt like the thought of driving that with the tank situated so far to the right, causing handling problems.

The protector-kote, or whatever it is thats been used, looks like its been applied by a pi$$ed monkey.

That is NOT a professional job, I wouldnt go down this route, Id be shocked if anyone did.

is he having a laugh, is he having a laugh

lets just break it down,

merlin         £250
di vessel                      £30
tank          £115
pump and battery                    £100 ish
hoselock bit      £20 odd
hose reel and hose                   £100
protecta                      £30
pole                                         £100

ok so we’re looking about £750 ish for that setup, and you want £2100  :o

im sorry to dampen your buisness, but that is a con! £1000 fitted for that setup would be fair, as its just a diy job!

around £1500 for fitting! crikey!

anyway, for that sort of money id go to somewhere like pure freedom for less i might haten to add at £1995 and have something that looks superb like this



instead of a home made bodge job for more money! im sorry but you wont get away with them prices, no way no where no how
what white paint did you use on the side of your van ?

poor bloke, he comes on here thinking 'yeah get some more sales man' and all he gets is criticism.

Im sure many people have thought of selling off these systems to make money, but its just not going to work selling that off at those prices. You have to have something thats worth offering for sale, that looks good, well made, safe, and with a few extra features here and there.

When you look at all the other companies like purefreedrom or stream wfp systems, they are well designed, well made with quality steel cages, with professional fitting teams, the systems are even marked off with more advertisement and branding, and they source there own equipment-

its seems all you have done here is bought a tank from ebay or somewhere as cheap as you can get, bought a merlin, a hose reel from ebay - (that looks like exactly the same one that purefreedom sell on ebay) a few connectors and brackets from the local diy, pump and varistream all the necessary things, but all you are doing is shopping for some one, sticking it in the back of their van, and giving them a ridiculous bill for that.

Its no different from anyone else, except its worse or missing things.
sorry but im out (as the dragons would say).

Glyn
I think you would be better off just telling the truth-
You, along with every other major wfp supplier are shaking in your boots with the sudden realisation of such competition! ;D
Calm down, relax, & you may just get some sleep tonoght! ;)

come to my house and i can build the same system for about a grand £1,000
and have done so on many occasions, in my view there are far too many people trying to jump on the band wagon of wfp to try and make a killing.

personally i would rather help out another w/c and fit it free of charge (if they supply the parts) just to get them off a ladder
