Waste Water
« on: August 20, 2005, 08:13:58 am »
Im not on wfp yet as my concern is how much waste water you get when using an RO unit.
Can anyone tell me how much water i will use to fill up a 400L tank (including waste water)...(Im on a water meter  :'()..
And how much water you will use to clean a 3 bed house (Aprox)..
Thanks
Baz......

Hi Baz,

it depends on your RO unit, but the average would be 1200lt to make 400lt.

400lt should last you all day

I use about 300L/400L a day (not pure water) for other cleaning jobs i do and my last water bill doubled so god knows what it will be if i go over to wfp.

HI again,

the more psi you can put through your RO unit, the less waste, you need to have atleast 75 psi to start lowering the waste out put.

I dont know the psi of outside tap but i know it is very good as i can spray water from the hose about 40ft and it takes about 10 mins to fill a 400L tank.
