I saw a friends setup, looked the business...he had four water butts lined up so by the time the water got to the fourth butt the water had settled three times...I'd be interested to see what the TDS is but I don't have a meter.

Cant be bothered with harvesting myself when a set of pre filters are only £14 every 3 months. Each to their own etc etc
Its only the cost of water that bothers me . It will cost me around 18-19 pounds to get 1000 L RO water . Whats your prices ?

 
I wouldt buy my water either . It only the production cost im talking about . But it all depends on where you live too , we have some space around Our house , and personally , 12 PPM free water is too good to miss in my yard . /emoticons/smile.png

 
iv got a water barrel out back only 200ltrs I use the water for

the backpack (only use it on a few jobs at mo), but im interested /looking to harvest more .

Bob's set up is cool

Never has to produce his own pure

Just run it through a small di

 
Exactly /emoticons/wink.png! I have a 11 L DI in van . Before the reel . Ive just adjusted it Yesterday so i Can get even more off my roof . Guessing 50% increase . Of course with 1000 L i May have to produce during dry seasons

 
Its a cheap setup . Got the tank for removing it at a factory . The rest cost about 30 pounds , dont know the Price of wifeys nylons though ! :rofl:
