Title: Things needed for a van mount?
Post by: Dean payne on September 23, 2011, 10:30:59 am
I am doing water fed with trolley system the next step for me in a van mount, now I have a free standing 300gpd RO and 7L DI am I assuming I have somehow have these in the van then run water from and outside tap and have my water purify on board?


So then what do I need, well I know I need a Tank, but cant work and a pump is this easy to set up, plus 2 reels of mircobore hose.

I want a 650 tank.

Am i forgetting anything?

Cheers.

Instead of putting your RO/DI in the van, you can get a 1000 ltr IBC and fill your pure water into that.  You can then transfer this water into your van by using a submersible pump.  I did this, so it's easy to do.

Also, you'll need for inside your van:

Pump
Flowcontroller
Battery
Hose,
Hosereel

If you're doing a two man system, I recommend two pumps and two flow controllers, both of which you can run from one battery.

I use a leisure battery, but a lot of guys here use diesel vehicle batteries they get for a tenner from a garage.

If you can be bothered, have a look at my backposts at about March time; that's when I went van mounted and asked a boat load of questions.

Get good quality connectors - hoselock ones, not the cheap ones

Static always works well, and is always producing water...if its in the van its only producing water when your parked up  ;)

Yep all you need is a tank, a pump, a controller, hose and reel. And a few bits of hose inbetween and connectors.

I run my system off the van battery and have for the past 4 - 5 years without a spot of bother. I do like to put decent batteries on van, big heavy duty ones.

And if need be, you CAN run 2 reels off one pump, ive also done this now for about 3 years and no issues.

A full 650 tank will come through and break your spine like a twig in even a slow impact accident. Make sure you have it securely bolted/strapped down and if you have not got a metal bulkhead then buy one from ebay and fit that in. First and most important thing you need is common sense mate.
