Title: How long??
Post by: craig jwc on August 26, 2005, 11:30:42 pm

Just got my RO system running today.
I've had it on since lunchtime and going to leave it running overnight.
It's only a 50gpd but what i wanted to know is if i can leave it on for two or three days or will it damage it???
Hopefully i will have enough water to start practicing tomorrow as this is my first time with wfp. :-\

HI Craig

You should be able to leave it on 24-7, but you must remember to flush the membrane every couple of days.

at 50gpd, you are looking at around about 10 days to fill a 1000lt tank.

Hope this helps

Andrew

dont see why you can not leave it runing for as long as u want should not damage it. i have got a 200 and it takes about 1 hour to make 25 lts at 60psi water presure . i think it will take your 50 about 4 hours to get 25lts so you will have to leave it runing for quite a few hours

Cheers for that Guys.
I new i should have gone for a bigger one but as i am just starting out and didn't have much work thats why i got it.
I've been door knocking over this last week and managed to get up just over £200 of work to add to what i already have. Some i need the pole for some i don't.
I'm off to the inland revenue next week to find out if i can afford to hand my notice in at my part time job as i get the tax credits since i'm a single parent.
Cheers again

Craig,

I remember reading about someone who claimed some type of benefit that paid him some sort of benefit during his first year of business.

Why not give your local citizens advice a visit.

Tosh

good post thats set me off from when I first set up.

Craig go to your local business link/chamber of commerce. There are all sorts of fundings available for new ventures.

Princes Trust if you are under 30

They will point you in the right direction

Rob ;D

Thanks for that. I've been looking on the business link website but can't see any sort of grant i can go for.
I'll have to get in touch with them.

I tried the princes trust yesterday but was told i have to be unemployed for 12 weeks before they would consider my application for a grant. With not having enough work to give up my full time job ( I only wc in evenings and at weekends) I cant wait 12 weeks so will call citizens advice today and see what they think!!!
