Yeah I think I will likely buy an upgrade and the 200gpd pump as the bigger pump is only a few £ more so might as well, though mine is keeping up quite nicely currently so all good.

 

[cheapncheerful]

[cheapncheerful]

how low can you go....how low can you go...i think..around the hundred figure but there are better informed on here...i was only 163 but...best err on the safe side...

 

[Diwrnach]

Mines 460 out the tap, even RO and small DI doesn't cut it, well, its down to 006, which is fine so far, but will get a bigger DI vessel soon.

 

[chunk0002]

So couldn't do it with a di vessel then?

Maybe with two in a row or something, but my guess is you need an RO.

 

[chunk0002]

Ok will look into it .Any recommendations?

 

[Diwrnach]

That entirely depends on your budget mate, mine was pretty much start up capable of three story work as cheap as humanly possible, which is why I went with that set up off ebay.

If you are working 10-15 houses all day every day though the RO unit wouldn't keep up, but for the amount of customers I currently have its fine.

 

[chunk0002]

Ok well I have mainly traditional customers at the moment and I am looking to go canvassing to get more customers.to.use on the wfp system so to start off with I haven't got a huge demand for water

 

[Diwrnach]

Well I am more than happy with what I am using, for the money its great, if I had a full time round though I would go for something different.

I will be upgrading mine as I go, I will have a mount in the back of my pick up, probably a lighter stiffer pole, also upgrade the RO unit to produce more water.

But for now, 100gpd RO unit, back pack and cheap pole/brush that does 3 storys fine is doing me proud.

Get a 450 gpd ro Should get 400 litres per day

 

[chunk0002]

Ok, how much and where from

 

[Natty1972]

Pure freedom. £229 Aim high bud If you buy a small ro you'll be kicking yourself when you are using water all day ( which will come sooner than you think if you put your mind to it ) and youll bin the smaller one .... It's what happened to me

 

[chunk0002]

Does anyone buy water off anyone else to use or is it not worth it?

 

[Diwrnach]

I have read of people doing it, but not anywhere near me so not looked into its viability.
