They've actually got a new version of that one in stock now with heavier duty pumps rated for 24/7 use.

I measure the output on mine, and I get a litre of pure every 68 seconds,.. so over 1200 litres in 24 hours. :)

TDS in is 240, out is 12,... better than my old Ro-man unit & MILES better than my old merlin.

Post by: andyM on January 16, 2011, 09:12:54 am: Sounds good. I've had the one I put the link to for about 6 months and its been good, cost about £197 at the time.
During the summer it produces 1 litre of pure every 60 seconds but is a bit slower at the moment due to reduced temperatures.
Mine was producing 12 ppm from 280ppm in when I first got it, but after bedding in it now comes out at 7ppm so uses very little resin to bring down to 0ppm.

Post by: Smudger on January 16, 2011, 09:13:29 am: this was my first ro and it was extremely slow - i didn't have any water storage at the time and would have taken 10 hrs to fill 250 ltr tank

they were very good and i was able to return it for a full refund.

then got a merlin

Post by: d s windowcleaning on January 16, 2011, 10:40:35 am: the ro unit itself is good , the filters and membranes that come with the unit are crap if i was you mate i would spend a bit extra or you will be changing the filters and membranes in no time at all .

You'd need a sizeable pump,.. the 400gpd one I have needs 2 pumps, one for each membrane.
