Title: Which RO
Post by: thewindowcleaner1 on September 29, 2005, 07:23:19 pm: I run Merlin at present but I know I,ve read on this forum that there is a better one for fitting in vehicle to produce water on site at a good rate,
I've been going though past thread's until my eyes have changed sides.

any help welcomed

My tap tds is 234 and it comes out the R/O at 0.01 with a waste ratio of 1 to 1.

Post by: sair on February 17, 2006, 01:10:29 pm: i sell it all on a stainless steel panel with booster pump, needle valve, cut of solenoid and float switch for telling system to stop making water ,it comes with all connectors for whatever use you intend to use it for .van panel comes with either battery to use as a van mount with a split charger abilitity to mean never need to charge its battery or mains adaptor for use as a static it has a ratio rate of only 25 % being rejected so it is adaptable and effeciant in making water , its currently our biggest seller , 01435 873555 or 07944227635 tony

with booster will make approx 3.5 liters a minute from most main presure bringing the tds down to anywhere from 001-012 worst case depends how high your water tds is

I bought mine from stream, costs about £500 for R/o and then 20" Fillter housings and 25" D/I colum your not going to get a lot of change out of £1,000.

So Sair offer with cut off ect seems a good one.

Its top bit of kit and I like the fact if I put it on in the morning for a couple of hours you have more than enough for one man.

Post by: Roy Harding on February 20, 2006, 09:01:00 pm: Shawn

My 4 x 40 produces 1,000 in 3hrs.

I have 2 x 20" fillter housings that contain 1 carbon fillter and on sediment fillter.

also 25" x 8" d/i colum.

It does same job as a small unit except faster and a bit more efectivly.
