[abs]

To answer your question no it will not double the output nor save you water.

So are these kits a waist then

 

[Smurf]

How much pure are you using a week?

 

[abs]

I'm coping with using about 800 ltr as only do 3 days but my ro is on constantly for that time and the waste is huge and I'm on a meter

 

[Smurf]

If you are on a meter the you really need a fast fill type ro like a 4040 which is the industry standard for quicker production.

Seems pointless if they don't double pure though ???

yeh I was kinda wondering..it does somewhat trickle out....and that 4040 is er...dearer../emoticons/biggrin.png

I did think for a while about a big ibic tank but then you have to faff about transferring so I ruled that out for now me likes to live dangerous ...not flooded for a while.

I'll need one eventually I reckon as I expand , I'll keep look out on ebay

 

[Smurf]

And you will be earning more too which offsets the intial outlay. Not to mention no more running an ro for days to fill a 1000 ltr ibc

You can use a £30 submersible pump from ebay with a 1" reinforced hose from e.g ebay/garden supplier/the range etc - just make sure you get a pump with a high lmp transfer rate. You can even put a plastic fuel trigger gun on the end if you want to be fancy like this

I just shove the pipe in the tank though and turn it off at the mains when the tank is full. I have flooded the van a couple of times mind...

 

[abs]

I've a submersible pump got 2 210 litre barrels for holding tanks and transfer is quickly to my 210ltr container in the car never flooded my car yet lol
