Best WFP System
« on: October 13, 2009, 12:12:40 am »
Hi,

Currently starting up a window cleaning business, looking at purchasing a decent WFP system have been looking at the Ionics Pro 5 system. Do you think these are overpriced are they worth the money?
Also reading through other topics found someone recommended PureFreedom are these good sysems as they seem very cheap?

Thanks

Jason

Archer is selling his system, based in Bolton NW.

Its on ebay, give him a call if you want to go down the Ionics route you will save a couple of grand.

DIY is the best route to go...none of it is very complicated...the only exception I suppose is having a cage fitted to your van to securly hold the water tank.

Cheers

DIY is the best value, but you do need some knowledge and ability.

Pure Freedom is one of the cheapest fitted systems on the market.

Ionics is the only system that has gone through a full crash test program, so this makes it the provably safest system on the market. A second hand Ionics' system is probably going to be the best system you can buy for the money.

Diy is not rocket science with a little bit of skill and you will have to maintain it so why not build it.

Course its enough, 300ltrs per person.
I currently have a 350ltr tank in the van and I have only run out of water once.
Plus when I buy a second van I will be having a static system so I will only need one RO system to feed 2 vans.

ok well i know from exerience it isnt not on compact work and not if you run behind and do a longer day.

i have my flow reasonable actually proberly lower than most and 650 ltr does not last every day for a two man team. this is from my experience take this on board or dont im just giving you good advise

I am selling an Ionics PRO 5 400ltr System in very good condition, fitting kit, hose & reel, salt.

This system has been backwashed before EVERY fill & RO flushed once a week.

Ionics fitted a screw on cap ontop of the system to increase instant pure water capacity for the bigger jobs.

Only selling because  i have bought a bigger system.

Will explain everything to you regarding the system & tips on how to grow the business to help you get started.



£2,100.00 No offers , this is a quality system.

Its only enough if you only use 300 litres innit :)

Some people will do more work , work longer, have a higher flow rate etc
