So far,just my small connector hose from tank to pump,not completley as i drain off the water before i finish for the day,as for everything else i am lucky enough to be able to take everything else in for the night,it takes an extra 15 mins in a morning to load up,so not too bad,Gaz

ro was dodgy this morning but still worked ok after a minute. worried me though, dont want a grand bill. brushes frozen.
-
Well apart from my extremities turning blue I've mostly been ok, though yesterday my pole hose froze up and I had to put it on the dashvoard of the van to thaw it out.
I know have a little 2 killowatt fan heater with a frost stat. Last night was colder than the one before and everything was fine today.
I've been told that by this time next month we could be in for -18 degrees :o :'( :o
So, something to look forward to then ;D

Nothing yet. I've got quite a large water storage for my small WFP system, so I've been keeping my RO/DI in at night.
I can probably make enough pure water during the weekend to last me a full week.
I'm bringing my pole in to; just in case!

See? I told you.....We're not in december yet and already we are having temperatures plummeting below freezing.....heavy snow forecast for the end of the week....where will it all end :-[ :-\ :'(
Someone told me, that they knew a man who overheard another saying he'd heard that by mid december it's going to be -18 degrees :o
An interesting fact about donkeys...more people get killed by them than die in air crashes every year :o
But all joking apart, it does at least appear as if it is going to be a tough one this year.
I've stocked up on road salt and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't going to get so bad that the water freezes on the glass.
The stuff in the van will be ok, using a heater with a frost stat, and like Tosh, I can take in my R/O overnight.
I don't mind the cold when there is no wind, but add in high winds and I end out wearing more layers than an onion!
Just got an office to do today...well, I should say that I'm only going to do an office today!
Got my gear to waterproof the van floor so I'm having a big chunk of the day off to do that!

Hi Everyone,
Well I was away for the weekend, I left at 12 noon on Friday and that morning the temperature here was -7 and was up to -2 at noon.
Now I returned on Sunday evening, had Monday off to recover, so was not to concerned. However, 3pm yesterday, I went to prep the van ready for today and this is what I found.
1) feed Hose (20 meters) frozen solid, couldn’t even pull it out of its casing.
2) Pump, frozen solid and both inlet and outlet hoses frozen
3) 30” DI bottle frozen solid
4) all internal feed hoses, frozen solid
5) 2 * 50 meter hose reels frozen solid
6) All brush heads and water pipes in the poles frozen solid.
7) Both batteries flat as pancakes
I feel this is only severe like this because I was away for three days and the van was just sitting there. But it still is annoying and caused me to miss a days work :(

No trouble here with freezing.
Still got my shorts on.
same here (in the house any way)
outside
2 T shirts
1 polo shirt
1 hoody
1 quilted shirt
1 light water proof if needed (keeps the wind out)
RO
1 water tank insulation (goes round twice)
1 old very padded coat
(will still bring it in on very cold nights and tuck it up in the warmth)
I'm going to rebuild the shed nxt year with doulble insulation and a heater...
VAN
all hose reels and the pump wraped in water tank lagging, pole bought in for the night.
Plan to build unit in vehicle so that hose and pump can be protected with greater ease..
QUESTION...
I know that you can buy an imershion heater for your base tanks....but what do you think a normal imershion heater in the van tanks would do to the TDS??
Any idea's before I try it out ....

Well, here in north Wales by the sea, not bad at all. Ice on the screen, leave the engine running for 10 mins[ locked the van with spare key] This afternoon a balmy 10 degrees. lovely day for working. Hit 3 figures by 3.30 and packed up.
My Indonesian Mrs can't hack it though,she had a day off today. She will accuse me of attempted murder come friday. That's if the forcast is right. Dai

Cleaning the windows, or just taking the money? ;D
