Just bought a second hand freedom trolley. Im going to set it up over weekend. I know nothing about pure water and how to make it. My tap water reads 128. Is this good or bad. Ive got a ro thing but someone has mentioned polishing it off with resin.

Any help would be appreciated cheers.

birdy if you fancy a drive from sheffield to barnsley i will show you how to go on with setting up ro , di , your tap tds is low compared to mine at 287

[birdymiller]

Got it off a bloke from another forum in darlington. I could call him but just thought whilst im sat here and it is pi//ing it down i could do a bit of research. What is a di

[d s windowcleaning]

di is the resin for polishing off

[birdymiller]

How much are we talking to buy one

[Xline Systems]

around £100 for a pollyglass vessel complete with resin and fittings
or around £40 for 10" filter vessel with refilable cartridge, resin and fittings.

[d s windowcleaning]

this would all depend on the size you wanted 11 ltr £79 + vat 25 ltr £99 + vat  1400 ml £41.50 + vat these prices are from window cleaning warehouse resin around £70 a bag , try a search on e-bay for di units .

[birdymiller]

So the ro unit that comes with the trolley does not bring the tds reading down to 0

[d s windowcleaning]

give x-line a ring on 0115-939-4444 hes a supplier whos recently started up in nottingham hes on this forum at the moment .

[d s windowcleaning]

ro units can bring tds down to 000ppm but the di will make sure of this .

Hi Birdy

Im no expert but I may live closer as I live in Sheffield, Wadsley. I will gladly show you my set up and explain things so you get a better understanding of WFP. Let me know.

Cheers for the offer basil, ive been on the blower to the guy who i bought it off and because he lives in a soft water area he never needed the di. But he suggested getting it set up with the ro and find out what the reading is. If it is crap then get a di.

How do you do yours basil from a trolley, backpack or van. I watched the clips of grounddog the other day and he has inspired me into wfp.

[basiljohn]

I make mine at home and store in a 1000ltr Ibc then transfere to a tank in the back of my van and use either a back pack or trolly to clean customers properties, again your welcome to come and have a look.

Hi Birdy.

If you want any advice or help at all in setting it up feel free to call me at the office on 01472 347519. You may or may not need a DI with a tap reading as low as yours.

The reason you have a DI is to get rid of the last few percentage of solids that RO units dont remove. I am happy to explain it all to you so that you will easilly set it up.

Regards

lol OK I will be calling you for advice in a week or two then 

Just one important thing. If the RO hasnt been used for a while give it a good flush for 20 mins or so. If it's one of our ROs just turn the black tap to the FLOW position to do this. Then turn it the only way it will turn. thats quarter of a turn (This is the normal production position) and run it for 20 to 30 mins BEFORE you put the product pipe into the DI. This is because TDS creep will have occured and the TDS out at the start will be high. It will go down minute by minute until it bottoms out.

Hope this helps

Regards

Andrew

will do cheers, might need some help if the filters need changing, are they expensive. Another thing whilst i think on the guy who sold it me told me it takes about 12 hours to fill the 210 litre water butt, is this right.
