Ionics vs Streamline vs Xline - which would you recommend?

We are looking to get a 650 litre window tank with hot water installed.
We would also like to install pressure washer system either built in or tank for standalone
Then you have your usual features like two man system, electric hose reels, etc

Which company would you guys recommend and why? What is your experiences of them?
We will be providing our van to them? any other companies worth speaking to? We want reliable equipment

Grippatank and pure freedom are both good systems and crash tested.

I personally wouldn't buy of Streamline for a couple of reasons, equipment especially poles are not as good and price. Here is one example regarding price -

Thanks Ive reached out to Gripptank so lets see. We want someone to supply and install this but want a reliable system. Would be good to hear everyone's views.

Be very careful about paying them upfront, there are lots of horror stories about them not doing what they are supposed to.

Check out Purefreedom, I’ve had my system for nearly 4 years and it’s been perfect and very reliable they also do hot water heaters.

Any other recommended companies?

I have always used Purefreedom, for 2 vans, but don't know what they're like since they were bought.
Still got the original system from 13 years ago.

Ionics have a sister company who is are cheaper @Master Jedi Alejandro had a system fitted by them much cheaper than an Ionics system

 

[Pjj]

Ionic’s stuff is very good but they are expensive, we have 3 of there systems totally bulletproof, as @Iron Giant said pure o2 are part of Ionic’s and they used to price match other quotes there stuff is good quality. Grippatank’s stuff is ok system wise and boilers but would avoid their reels but customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Pure freedoms stuff was ok when it was owned by them no idea what they are like now they have been taken over . No experience with x line although there stuff looks nice .

 

[Teaboy]

we have had/have about 15 systems over the years,

Streamline IMO offer the best in terms of value when you account for customer care.

Xline we have experience with, we dont use them for anything other than consumables now.

I bought a 500L tank from X-Line and had them install it. Delivery system only. The gear is served me well but I don’t believe their systems are crash tested.

Sales and installation was simple. My only gripe with them is they are an absolute nightmare to get hold of if you need help with anything.

 

[spruce]

I also believe their tank has a big footprint. Floor space in a van is always at a premium.

Crash tested is good but it’s not the be all and end all. The testing is only done to 30mph. Professionally fitted systems are likely very safe. For some it may just mean they’ve never bothered to get certified? I could be wrong on that. As long as you’re not ratcheting a tank into a van you’re at least doing something. All of my vans have crash tested systems, worth noting that ionics are willing to price match others such as xline even though they only sell crash tested.

Sure. As I said, I have an X-Line tank and I’m happy with it. Just thought it’s worth mentioning it’s not crash tested for those who are concerned about it.

True, but not by a huge margin. The battery fits snuggly in/on the tank which I like. As I don’t have any of the filters, I use all the cutouts/indentations as storage for my bits n bobs, so you can use the space that way.

Having said that, I wouldn’t buy another one.
