Hi
Just been thinking about winter & was thinking there must be easier ways than dangerous heaters etc. Here are some of my ideas- would be good to hear yours!
Empty your tank at night. Your tank cant freeze if its empty!
Fit your pump to a panel and velcro it to your tank- Van wall- whatever you usually secure it against. This can be removed in seconds if you connect it using hoselocks too & bring it indoors.
Change your hose fitting from a waterstop connector to one where the water can empty as you wind it in. If its completely empty you could leave it in the van, but if in doubt just bring it in with pump.
DI vessels-/ RO- consider going DI only for the colder months- this way you can bring your RO indoors and just produce water on demand. If you are worried about outside tap etc freezing consider using a tap connector that you can connect to indoor kitchen/ bathroom tap & run hose out of window.
It may seem like a lot to do but you could probbly fill up & have the rest of the gear in the van in an hour- better to lose an hour than a day.
It might cost you a bit more money in resin aswell but again, even if you had to spend a trnner on resin to get working and earn £100, I think thas worth it.
Anyone else have any cheap, hassle free ways of staying fluid this winter?
