just to add on waste water my cheap RO, had a waste to pure ratio of 4:1

my current RO has a ratio of 2:1 maybe a bit less than 2.

so buy cheap and throw a lot of water away.

Sean, your better of getting a tap fitted that you can connect a hozelock or simular too. As you dont want the toilet sink out of action and what if it pops off whilst your out and floods the bathroom?

Unless your filling direct into van but still same situation in my eyes.

What do you mean, an outside tap?

ok if not cheap ,whats an ok one i can get with pump and di or is cheaper to buy a seperate di,some peoples must know where the deals are? do you even need a di if you can get the water below 10?

have a look at the vyair site, i had the 450gpd, now have the 650gpd. and a daqua 11l DI.

very good RO and any problems have been delt with quickly.

Was this the one you had?

I had a faulty auto flush, it was dumping out too much waste water.
They sent out some parts too swap over. but in the end gave me a brandnew 650gpd RO in a metal cabinet as a replacement worth about £400.

Sorry to hijack but im in the same position as you, got a TDS meter and have done a few readings my tap water is ranging from 180-195 tds.

The one above seems a good price!

I was thinking of getting this one:

Ideally want around 150 litres a day to do tops only in WFP. Would this be ideal? Would the pumped version be better and how long would it take approx to fill 6 25 litre barrels? Im on a water meter too.

if these are new cleans, you will need a lot more than 150l per day unless your only cleaning a few a day imo

i got this one and it is ok (100 gallons a day) the only drawback is its slow to produce water i leave mine on overnight 12 hours to produce 210 litres which does me, when im more busy it is just running all the time just depends how busy you are

[magic moments]

What you have the  one I linked with the pump and Di,what number does your water go in at

Tops only need more than 150litres a day? Think I will be lucky to get 4 25l barrels in the estate let alone more

forgive me for being thick but while your at work all day and the ro is pumping the water in an ibc tank in garage for example whats to stop it overflowing 

[richard jagger]

Hi Magic half of these guy think to big for a started I thing that extend to wash is a good choice all you should ask John to add id another membrane if you can afford it. If not that one will work fine but I would guess 200 litres per day will be fine if you have static tank so you can produce water while you are working.You can add 2 or 3 membranes to produce more water and much waste water.That pump JOHN SELLS IS VERY GOO AND WILL INCREASE THE FLOW RATE GREATLY.IF YOU HAVE A 200 LITRE WATER BUTT OR TWO YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH WATER TO KEEP YOU GOING FOR 2/3 GEARS BEFORE YOU NEED A LARGER RO.i SET THE RO PRESSURE AT 100 PSI AND IT WORKS JUST FINE 

[Mist A Bit]

i have a  300gpd ro with a static 1000ltr tank . my van also carries 1000ltrs. my ro is running 24/7 while im at work and while im in bed. takes 24hours to fill 1000ltrs. i never run out . not on a water meter though.
