[Part Timer]

is there any thing in the pipe line @doug atkinson like a super fast filling ro that can fill a 500l tank in 1 hour or something or a different type of resin new meterials thsat can do the job 

My R/O with booster pump does approx 400l an hour

4040 RO with a good booster pump and there are various grades of mixed bed but higher the spec the more money you pay

Doug, im looking for an R.O is a 4040 with a booster pump the best option in terms of rejection rates and pure to waste ratio ?

Depending on reservoir I'm either 320ish or 400ish. I'm anything between 5 and 7 before DI

Doubt you'd get that low, but low enough not to need resin if you can't get it.

 

[tench0771]

im  :1f4a9:  ing it to m8 

 

[adamangler]

tap tds is about 150 here, touch wood should be able to get away with a really efficent R.O

was going to go double D.I as ive just moved house and on a meter but im not wasting the bag i have left and im off to local supplier tomorrow to get another couple sacks.

 

[tench0771]

the only thing with ro is the waste now can u turn the waste rite down

I get roughly 50/50, I'm not metered so don't need to be concerned. I've done a rough 30 second bucket test and couldn't tell the difference.

Cost will of water will be irrelevant compared to going back to tradding because you can't make pure

dam dumping 50 %of water that sounds a lot as im on a water meter  :1f4a9:

depends on your TDS and water costs

my water is £1.28 per 1000 litres so at 50/50 thats will do a day, so about 6.50 a week in water

for me its cheaper to R.O than d.i even in a meter at my tds, which tends to be around 140 TDS

actually scratch that, you pay sewerage as well right? dont know costs yet as only had the meter a few days

but anyway, rather pay more water than run out of resin

 

[tench0771]

im in south west im not shore on the cost per 1000l i was under the inpressen it was £15 all in as there is a surege charge on top of the water  this is south west water

 

[tench0771]

@doug atkinson is there plenty of purelite mb400  resin thats on your sight  is this good resin as good a tulsion ?

 

[dmw]

But PF had that black stuff they said was Tulsion but from the States. It isn't/wasn't the genuine article.

Precisely, I bought that stuff from them and wasn't fit for purpose. Complete cowboys.

Fit a sub meter to your r/o and then you will be able to apply for a sewage refund on the amount that the r/o uses. The downside is that you will have to send them (your local water authority) a monthly reading of your consumption so they can deduct that from your bill.

When our water was 255ppm our 450gpd was bring the tds down to 4. In most places that's good enough to clean windows with. If I inspect the windows from inside at 5ppm I can see tiny tiny spots in bright low light sunshine. If there is no resin to polish that off then that will have to do.

At 2ppm a bag of Tulson lasts me 4 years. I have 1/2 a bag left, a resin change due with filter change so now and I will still have enough for the next year. If I stock up with resin I will have to leave it in my will to my son. :1f602:

I've got a 450 gpd , tap 150ish ppm( water pressure brilliant) after ro its 003ppm I can get away without resin but still polish it to 000ppm.  Resin lasts months in my 7litre Di .
