First post, crackin forum with loads of info and lots of helpful windies here /emoticons/smile.png
Done quite a bit of research already, can't find any specific info on avoiding slow RO production though.
I can't have a static tank, and don't want to leave van hooked up to tap for 2-6 hrs or longer
due to RO bottleneck.
500 L per day should do, if not replace twin 250's with twin 350's.
The Idea I had (probably already been done) was to have a twin tank van mount setup (Transit / Vivaro):
Tank 1: 250 L - labeled "Pure Water" - mounted across loadspace + flush to bulkhead.
Tank 2: 250 L - labeled "Tap Water" - mounted across loadspace + flush to pure tank.
Tap tank feeds RO - RO feeds pure tank (booster pumps or normal shureflo to feed RO?)
Waste - a 3rd tank maybe or recycle back to tap tank?
End of day - fill tap water tank - next morning pure tank is full, then refill tap tank again.
So on a 250L at 12lpm thats roughly 20 mins refill at start and end of day.
The tap tank should keep pace with the pure tank if its a 2020 or maybe 4040 RO?
I live in a soft water area (not checked TDS yet) so I may get away with DI only,
but the twin tank RO idea would still cut down on resin costs in the long run or as a retro fit later on.
Any ideas on the above, would it work, or am I way off track?
Cheers for any help /emoticons/smile.png
