Hello everyone cracking site, lots of info on here. Which i will need as im going to be getting a wfp van system very soon so would love help choosing the right one.i live in hard water area so will need r/o i have done traditional for a couple of years in the past and now going to be starting for myself! Was thinking of purefreedom 350 litre r/o wondering if any good? Thanks guys

 
Hi moose, I haven't used the PF so can't really comment but just wanted to say welcome to the forum, I'm sure some of the guys here will be able to advise.

 
Hi & welcome:thumbsup:

I've found purefreedom a good company to buy bits from but think a 350 litre tank van system is too small myself for the type of jobs I do.

 
Thats what i was thinking i don't want to buy something that i will have to replace. I have a budget of roughly 5k for van and system.just want to get the best combination for my money!

 
To save money you could go down the diy route and build a van mount yourself. As after all they are just off the shelf components that companies can charge a lot more for when sold as a built unit.

 
Thanks for that i was thinking that might be a better option.i will have a scout round the site and see what info i can pick up!

 
Hey Moose, my advice is go 500L minimum (unlesss you are close enough to home to go top up when need be from a static tank)

My set up is Renault Trafic 2.0L 2007 - £2700 used.

Brodex 500L system with 4 poles and plenty of goodies £1600 used. It does only have a 20 inch RO that I keep planning to upgrade to a 40 but then I get side tracked by a forum or butterflies or that fit birds as$ at number 17 due for a window clean tomorrow or just butterflies.

When I bought a used system I made sure I had cash for new filters and resins where needed as obviously that is key to pure water.

Do a little homework, do not rush to get the first toy you see, If you can go brand new all the way that's your choice but second hand has never bothered me as there are plenty out there that quit the day job buy all the gear and then realize you have to actually go and get customers and do the work, they go back to day job and sell hardly used kit on eBay.

Happy hunting sir!

 
Hi and thanks for the advice green much appreciated, im going to keep my eyes peeled and look out for some bargains. I dont mind second hand i just want the best quality i can get for my money and reliable equipment. Again thanks for the help!

 
You're welcome mate my top tips are

Tanks should be baffled (makes you less seasick)

Pumps - Best you can get

Digital controller

But the real money has to go on filtration after all pure water is the game.

Do not rush out buying £1000 poles cause they look good in the van, buy whats suitable for the majority of your work for now, the posh toys come once the business is paying for itself!
