Title: Wfp novice, ro systems
Post by: Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle on February 17, 2012, 02:16:00 pm: Having taken the plunge many months ago to go wfp, now 60% of work is wfp. I have been using DI only. But as were cleaning more and more by wfp, were really going through the resin.

Id like a static ro in my outhouse, but havent got room for static ibc. I was thinking that I could put it on the outside, and build a "hut" around it. And run the supply water pipe through the wall. But how about when the dreaded frost rdturns next winter?

Ithe tank in my van is 650litre, and rarely go through it all in one day.

I know therel have been countless topics about this, but id like an answer, unique to my needs. So any help, info advice etc, on what ro system would suit me.

Thanks

Likewise, and loads of lagging and insulation :)
