Pure freedom professional installation or diy?

[peter1984]

Hi I have just purchased a second hand 800l pure freedom 2 man operator system. I am trying to decide whether to pay to have it installed or do it myself. I have read that some insurance companies require documents to prove it has been installed professionally. Do I need to take it to a specific wfp installation company or can I go to my local car garage to have this done? I am based in Bedfordshire could anyone possibly recommend a company near to me... the only one I have found so far is Billericay cleaning supplies which is over an hour away
Thanks ?

The danger you have is 800 lts of water is very heavy and unstable, it really needs bolting down with decent spreader plates and appropriate bolts. While this job isn't technically difficult it's you life that is on the line in the event of an accident. If Billericay is about an hour away and will do a good job - check reviews and ask them about spreader plates etc then it's only a couple of hours extra once for a bit of safety.

I already have the spreader plates so will definitely be installed properly but just seeing if anyone had any recommendations for a company closer to me also if the insurance company would be happy with any garage installing it or if it would have to be by a specialist company

Only your insurance company can tell you that, all we've ever had to say was it was professionally installed, never been asked to prove it.

If you wanna be safe just use a vat registered garage like you have to on a warranty claim & keep hold of the invoice

The nearest company to you will be GrippaTank.
They are on the Bedfordshire/Cambridge border

I used Zero DS to re install my purefreedom system into my new van, they traveled to me and it only took them like 3-4 hours
