System choice - wcw compact vs X-line

[Matt Cook]

Hi guys bit of advice needed I'm not sure weather to get the compact DI start up with Phoenix pole for just shy of £1200 or a 350 ltr DI system from X-line for £1200 then spend £400 + on a carbon pole and brush plus £85 delivery ? Any advice on if they are worth the extra would be appreciated.

From what I have heard WCW supply screws to allow to fasten the tank into ply lining in your van, Sounds like a real safe idea [emoji33][emoji23].

As far as x line goes I have heard their customer service is getting pretty bad.

Could you not stretch your budget a bit and get a GrippaTank 300ltr tank and get them to fit the tank.

The prices can be lower than advertised on their website if you just need a tank and already have other components. Or are happy to fit them yourself.

Not too bothered about the fitting as I'm planning on strapping it in just general quality I was interested in also they supply a Phoenix hybrid pole I was gonna upgrade it to the carbon but It just has a cheaper look that the x line carbon

Maybe the WCW could be the better option with them been a long term player, Other lads who have the system may offer some advice.

Only negative I have heard about the compact system is the reel which is only really able to fit 90 metres of the I think it was despite been supplied with a 100m

Thanks for letting me know, did you have to re crimp the hose end and did you have power reel?

I bought the facelift compact in November last year. The hose reel just needs the two bars lowering and then works a treat.  I absolutely love mine and will be getting another soon for my new Van.

I was gonna go for a caddy sdi but think I'll go for a trafic as been advised I could soon out grow a caddy size, would you agree or is medium size ok? Only doing wfp and gutter vac and related trad gear may be a ladder to make conservatories easier.

If you are only going to strap the tank down why not just buy a wydale tank and buy a pump box you will save your self around £700 more than enuff for a good pole.

I have been pricing up building my own system using a pump box etc and buying the wcw compact 425 and the compact is only a couple hundred more but you do get a power reel and it's ready built with a pole so thanks for all the advice and I'm gonna go with wcw

Plus Matt it looks the dogs as well when in the van. All black and sexy, I love having the reel mounted on the tank as well, so much easier than lifting it in and out and bending to reel in it. I will be going for the 425 litre one next time, not so sure about a powered reel, its so simple to just to reel in
