will need to speed up my water production in the new year . my ro currently produces 300 litres a day . was thinking of putting a 25 litre di before the ro .how much extra will this produce . cheers bazza

if you put the DI before the RO then you wont need the RO.
do you have a booster pump on your RO, or very good water pressure already.
what is the RO GPD that you have, you can buy upgrade kits for them giving you additional 100/150gpd membranes.

I think it would probably increase your production of pure by about 10,000%, the only downside is you will use 2000 sacks of resin per year, so you would need lots of extra customers to pay for it, hope this helps ;)
-
man, didn't even know they went that slow! pointless putting Di before RO, as that would be sb expensive way to purify water because would go thru a lot of resin.
can you get better membrane? or as above, a booster pump would help to increase the water pressure, would need running too much Dow my liking. if get better membrane myself.
-
i use a 1500 gpd ro with no booster pump. most of that goes straight down the waste
-
If your 1500 gpd ro is only producing 300 litres per day then something is wrong.
Has it always produced only 300 litres per day? I would of thought pre-filters and or membranes probably need changing.
If water pressure is low a booster pump would help.
-
With such a big ro I think you will need 5 x 25 litre di's in front of it for it to be anything like efficient, I'd consider going trad to keep costs down. ;)

Subtle Barry gets reamed by Rhino Dave! ;D

Was going to suggest mounting it on a Porshe but there too expensive for mere window cleaners ;D
-
is it really 1500gpd or litres.
i would say you definitely need a booster pump, that is going to be a lot of filter/membranes for water to go through.
so slowing the production down.

I saw someone the other day with a DI only trolley system - it was pretty impressive really. The Massive DI bottle on a trolley connected to the outside tap. Massive amount of water coming out - wave goodbyye to your RO;s static tanks , transfer pumps, Though it would cost a fortune in resin as the TDS round here is aboyut 250. Having said that you wouldnt be p[aying a water bill as you are using the tap on site.
-
sure its nt 150gpd - 300l off a 1500gpd is shocking
-
I worked out a while back it would cost me £5 a day just using DI resin without the RO . Which actually is not that bad. Tax deductable so about £3.50 a day after tax .
It would be simpler

Hes probably got it on flush! Get tradding

oh barry you always lighten my day sir! ;D and to answer your question why dont you baypass the ro and go sraight to the holding tank that way you can fill up sooo much quicker ive noticed ;D plus there is 0% waste! :o
only downside is ive noticed that the ro and di seem to be of no use now and all the glass i clean is very spotty and seems to be getting worse with every clean! :P oh well at least i fill my tank quick :P
Disclaimer to all the stupid people... this is a joke! ;D
