irc filling?
« on: January 20, 2006, 07:53:52 pm »
hello,

how fast does an avarage 1000ltr IRC take to fill?

just switching over to wfp now and seems to be taking an age.With the advice from steve k  ;D i routed it through my shurflo pump which has speeded the process up no end,but was just wandering how long everyone else's takes?

I know once i have got a full tank there will be no problem with water supply. Just impaitient i suppose :P

cheers bazz

  Depends on what capacity your RO is, a 150gpd system will fill it twice as quick as a 75gpd system. Leave it on all weekend and just keep aneye on it.

hello there Baz, hope things are going well...I TOLD you to be patient!! ;D
As I mentioned, you may need a booster pump...type booster pump into search and see what comes up...from what I`ve read, you should expect about 5/600 litres a day...(I gather that means 24 hours)
Putting your tap water through the pump, as you are now doing, should help though.

Andrew McCann uses a 200 gallon a day system...he may be able to help. ;)
