Looking at buying a 2 man powered reel system, seen two that look the part.

X line 710L purewash xtank or the facelift 725L OSMO compact.

Has Anyone used one of these systems or another similar system to recommend?

No experience with either, but neither of them are crash tested also have you factored in filtration equipment and exactly what you'll need to produce pure

Are you looking for a delivery system only?

What payload is your van?

What charging facilities will you have?(can you run an extension lead to your van every night?)

Yes will be using a spotless filling station 

1118kg pay load

doesn’t a split relay run off my van battery? Didn’t think I would need overnight charging?

Which systems are crash tested? I know grippa is but very expensive.

I’ll be using a spotless filling station so will not need filtration

With a 750litre tank you will be pushing it as that's probably 850kg with frame when full, then add leisure battery (25kg) , reels (10kg each), and 2 people (100kg+ each) plus a full tank of fuel (50kg). So that's 1145kg - so over your payload!!!

Other lads have answered I have a system from https://purefreedom.co.uk/water-fed-pole-systems/fully-fitted-van-systems.html I paid £1,500 for a 350ltr system around 2 years ago

If you already have a thriving business and are cleaning 300+ jobs then Spotless will work out out very expensive to sustain a full time business.

Yes my round is about 300 jobs, I haven’t done any research on the filtering systems yet, would DI filtration work for me in the north west area greater Manchester?

What would you recommend then 500L? Will that last a days work?

You need to know your TDS as there can be considerable difference in areas depending ware the water supply comes from , buy a TDS meter from a reputable dealer like @doug atkinson  at daqua or Gardiners

My advise is for you to sit down this weekend with the search button and look for topics that you are interested in. These questions you are asking have been answered in great detail many times before.

You could have a really low Tds of 23ppm or 100ppm unless you get a tds meter you won't know someone like @dazmond is a Manchester lad and has a tds of around 20ppm but a few mile difference may well differ, either way you need a tds meter first to know what you have and also to ensure you are producing pure of 000ppm at all times moving forward 

 
If your in Manchester you could well be lucky like me!my tap tds is 020 so a bag of resin lasts me around 6 months!

DI only is the most convenient way to purify your water...a lot cheaper than spotless water.?

On the subject of batteries you will also need to charge your batteries up overnight if your powering two electric reels,2 pumps and controllers even if you have a split charge relay fitted to keep them failing prematurely
