Thoughts on this system for complete newbie

Hi guys

Just in process of getting van and looking to switch to wfp after 10 years trad.

What’s your thoughts on this system. I’m only part time , doing about 3 days a week and around 20 houses each day. My water is very hard in this area.

I already have a gardeners pole , so wouldn’t need the one they supply

Appreciate all advice

Many thanks

That’s the kit I got when started up very good for the money although I upgraded the pole to a carbon fibre pole and also got a booster pump but was very happy with it

Really? You speak from experience?

Expensive for what you get.. buy the bits individually and save money

I agree with @Dave B parts can be sourced cheaper and i would go for a 300-350ltr upright tank rather than a 400ltr flat if only doing 20 houses a day , For the last 6yrs or so I had a 400ltr flat and recently switched to 350 upright I never fully fill the tank and have yet to run out doing 20+ houses a day.

Seems like a ok kit. Just factor in you need some upgrades along the way. Yes, it's cheaper to buy the pieces separately, but wit a kit you get everything you need and don't end up with a lot of spares. If you have the time to research how to DIY a system, do that for sure.

Also would prefer an upright tank.

The expensive part is the frame to hold it in place in the van. If you buy a standard PF stainless steel one you can add 50% to that price.

Then ask them to take the pole out of the deal, reduce the price accordingly and then order a Gardiner SLX25.
