panorama,      my tds  reading is 107    soft water region.    to make pure water  ie   just to start off with a trolley system  to fill a few butts   + store    what would be my list,    waching Wagg   on youtube       he just had a hose to a tap, connect to a di canister inlet     and another hose  from outlet    going into 25litre drums.   is this the procedure for a small set up   from my kitchen   making pure water seems to make my head thump.   not as straight forward   or is it.
cheers    all help taken on board

If you have no outside tap, how do you plumb in the RO system?

If you have no outside tap , then you'll have to connect to your inside tap

Sound, I have a downstairs toilet right next to where I will be putting my RO and water barrells! What fitting do you use to connect to the tap on my sink, anyone have any pics or any links to a site with diagrams on?

personally i think a tank in van for being able to carry a large
amount of water is best if you are looking to both comercial and
residential work


i personally work from an estate it covers my needs of
being able to clean just under 300  domestic customers a month and
i dont use more than 200ltrs a day,i use backpacks because i
couldnt stand microbore and i find overall im quicker.

but once kids have buggered off i will switch back to van and tank
but still will use packs

Im in an estate too! Do you have trad gear in there as well? Ive got all my trad gear in there but think im going to struggle to get backpack and water in there. My plan is to fill barrells from RO and only clean tops with wfp and do bottom trad. I know its hard to guess but how much water (25l barrells) would I need to get in the car a day if I average 10, 3 bed houses a day (top windows only)?

ive used 700ltr tucker systems,400 ltr home made and also barrels they all do exactly the same job.

I trialled the barrels in the winter as not to have a van mount all iced up so i could keep the barrels made up. Using microbore hose, 100 psi pump with controller down to no 3 and 11 x 20 lt barrels on a 3 way pipe intake i got 18 x £10 ( 3 bed detached )  houses out of those 11 barrels

Sean , I have a out side tap which allows me to use hoselock connecter. Your inside tap will dictate what connection you can use.

i use a passat estate i can fit 8 barrrels and backpack in boot
i carry only the basic of trad tools spare batteries and brushes
in rear passenger area.

i can easily clean 10 3 bed houses ups and downs with wfp
and only squeegee off on the odd problem window i also
carry a di vessel and pipes in car just incase you never know
especially if you have got a couple of first cleans on top of
your normal work.

i imagine if you carry 6 to 8 barrels it will cover your needs
for tops only and as you go on you will find you will be able
to cover more work with the water you carry as you get used to
the system
