“Finally a de-mountable tank system so I can use my van for work during the week and for play at the weekend.”

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Portage™️ is the perfect solution for a safe, de-mountable pure water window cleaning filtration system. Designed for professional window cleaners, this system easily slides in-and-out of your van or truck in a couple of minutes thus freeing up your vehicle for other needs.

This low-profile tank is available in:

• 105 gallons (400 liter)
• 211 gallons (800 liter)

Simply undo the battery quick connector, remove the mounting pin and the tank can be portaged out of your van and stored until needed for the next days work.

Configurations

Portage™ is available in a number of different specifications. The following two configurations suit the North American market.

Portage Delivery- Designed as a pure water delivery system (only) for quick pure water filling from a static water treatment system. Does not have any filtration features, simply designed for delivery with tank and pump.

Portage Fusion- Designed as a high-performance, fully automatic five-stage RO/DI system with 240vv mains powered boosted fill, PFS™️, ROMS™️, & PDI™️ are all standard features. (Pure water production up to 3 liters per minute dependent on mains water supply)

Please speak with your Clean Direct Rep to discuss other model types available for your area. It may be necessary for your rep to configure your system and send you a quote.

Ergonomic Design

The ergonomic design provides easy access to controls for easy operation and to the filter system for ease of maintenance. We’ve incorporated a handy tool tray for water fed poles, window cleaning tools and drinks cans.

The 211 gallon tank has mounting points for the optional multi-position stainless steel hose reels. These are positioned for easy access via the side loading doors.

Unlike other flat tank systems, the underside of the Portage™ tank has been carefully designed to ensure that 100% of tank capacity runs to the 12v delivery pumps. So unless you’re parked on a steep incline you’ll be able to use every drop of the tanks water capacity even when the water level is low.

Built with Safety In Mind

Window cleaner safety has always been our highest priority. The Portage™ design was inspired after re-watching hours of crash test footage from our 2003 Thatcham crash test program. The lifting forces generated during a certain phase of a head on crash are considerable. For that reason most of the clamping on our other FMVSS-208 tested designs can be found at the rear of the framework. In a head on crash with Portage™ fitted in a van the absence of clamps at the rear of the tank allows the tank to lift and be arrested by the roof of the van instead. The dimensions of the tank and the FMVSS-208 brackets that fix the tank securely to the chassis at the front combine to prevent the heavy water filled tank from colliding with the driver and passenger seats to avoid fatal crush injuries. The benefit of this design is that whilst security is maintained the tank can be removed in minutes leaving the vehicle free for other uses.

Mounting in a Pickup Truck-

A fitting kit is not required for Portage™ tanks that are carried in pickup vehicles. It is however recommended that Portage™ tanks that completely fill the load space are selected. Although it is not a requirement, it is also recommended that Portage™ tanks are secured with ‘tie-down’ straps when transported in pickup type vehicles. If tie-down straps are not used then it is recommended to use wooden blocks to prevent lateral and front to back movement of the tank

Mounting in a Van or on a flatbed trailer-

It must be understood that in the event of a head-on collision an unsecured heavy load need only move the driver and passenger seats forward a small distance for the pre-tensioned seat belts to cause fatal compression injuries. For this reason a Portage™ fitting kit must be installed by a competent person in all vans even when a bulkhead is present. In the event of a head on collision the fitting kits resists the forward movement of the Portage™ tank. The fitting instructions must be followed in every detail.

12 Volt Connection-

Bearing in mind the demountable nature of the Portage™ tank system, the standard 12v connection is made by means of a quick connect fly-lead that plugs into the cigarette lighter. For more permanent installations are intended other more robust 12v power sources with split charging and quick connections are available as optional extras.

* Please note that 600L size has been discontinued. 

*SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT HOSE REEL MOUNTING

The 211 gallon (800L) size Portage is designed with a top cover (with storage compartments) and has enough room to mount two hose reels towards the back of the unit.

Because the 105 gallon (400L) size Portage is shorter it does not have the same room to accommodate the hose reels so we have designed an optional custom size cover that has the ability to mount hose reels. This is an optional item, sold separately. Please ask your Clean Direct Rep for details.

Manual

Ionic Systems Portage User Manual for the full user guide and instructions.

V4™️ is version 4 of The Reach & Wash System first launched in 1997.

The V4™️ truck-mount pure water professional window cleaning system has seen significant improvements over the lifespan of its development. 10% weight reduction and a lower center of gravity has improved vehicle handling.

It boasts tech options to improve filter performance, RO membrane life and water quality.

Tech Features:

• PFS™️ Periodic Flush System - On start up this feature automatically flushes the Reverse Osmosis Membrane for a period of 2 minutes. Thereafter the RO flushes for 2 minutes every hour during the filling process.
• ROMS™️ Reverse Osmosis Maintenance System - At the end of each tank fill, pure water is diverted to the RO membrane housing. Leaving the RO membrane bathing in pure water between fills ensures that dissolved solids (found in tap water) do not foul the membrane. Further, dissolved solids that are not removed from the membrane surface during Periodic Auto Flush cycles are absorbed by the pure water during the "rest period" to be flushed away during the first flush on startup.
• PDI™️ - Perpetual De-ionization - This feature considerably extends DI resin contact time. Ultra purification is achieved by repeated exposure of purified water to the final DI polishing stage.

System Features:

• Digital Flow Control -  Auto-compensating digital flow control allows precise operation of the pumps
• Dual TDS Monitoring - The TDS of the water at critical stages is monitored and shown on a control-mounted digital gauge
• Tank Sight Gauge - Fast and accurate view of the water level in the tank
• Fully Baffled Tank - Black polypropylene tank with advanced baffling for increased vehicle stability
• Twin Pumps - The V4™️ has two independently controlled pumps allowing more than one cleaning pole to be used at the same time (each produces up to 4 liters per minute per pole)
• Pump Activation
• Easy Refillable Filters - The filter media cartridge is simply replaced when spent
• Stainless Steel Chassis - Covered by our 10-year warranty
• Battery Charger - Integrated mains-powered CTEK battery charger (optional)

5 Stages of Filtration:

1. Carbon
2. Sediment
3. Reverse Osmosis
4. De-Ionization
5. Perpetual De-Ionization

Special Note:

An Ionic Systems In-line Water Softener is highly recommended for use in hard water areas. It can prolong the life of the RO Membrane. These are sold separately and can be found here.
