Whats the diffrence? Whats better?
Talk to me ;D

What's the reading out of your tap at home,if it's a high reading it's more cost effective to have both as will keep your resin costs down
-
I live in Somerset which I belive is a soft water area?!
-
i have a reading of 129 i use ro then di i have not changed resin in 2+years still giving 000 making 5000l a week :)
-
I would still measure your tap water with a tds meter and go from there
-
ive never used one of these RO things.i use DI only.(tap water 35-45).to be honest i reckon i would of stayed trad if i had to faff about with RO units!! ;) ;D ;D
if its under 100 tds from your tap and you want to purify your water quickly you cant beat DI only.
i use 2 bags of resin a year(£150-£160 per year).
it takes an hour every evening to purify my water for the next days work.

what part of somerset?

water companies will soon be banning r o units

This is my personal opinion, But where you live in this sort of area are not where I would recomend a R.O
and this is why
2 people can live in a soft water area one has a TDS of 50 and the other has a TDS of 30
both are told to use D.I only because they live in a soft water area
but the one that has a tds of 50 will go through resin more ... Now a good R.O will take it down to single figures............. I live in a hard water area and my R.O takes it down to 003
and a person that has a tds of 003 is going to go through less resin than the soft water with a tds of 030 .....
the only reason I would recomend that you do not use D.I is if you are on a water meter
like I said just my thoughts

why carry the extra weight when not needed ?

Got an interest in this thread as I intend to use Dual DI mostly thanks to posts from Winproclean and Dazmond - thanks.
Dazmond not sure about the extra weight have I missed something?
Could you not fill the tank with as much as you need for the day?

Near Taunton...?

Because he could fill his tank in about 10 minutes!
He could also fill it from anywhere- top up on-route/on site etc!
His resin should go a little further having a slower flow through it!
What more reasons could you wish for? ;D

just cant see the real point of carrying the extra weight, if you have the right system your not going to run out of water, I would never ask customer to supply me for the job I am changing for (imo thats taking the P) I guess if your tanks not big enough then maybe this is a good option.
you can slow fill from a tap without the need to carry the resin on board.
Is this what you do ?

On the other hand- if you dismiss the benefits just because you dont want to carry the "extra weight"? ??? then you either have the wrong van or dont think straight! :)
Yes, that's what I do. no water meters in Scotland & soft water. Today for instance- I'm on the second day of a two day commercial- it's far more economical for me to top up on site than come home to do so. ;) Daz also lives in a soft water area.
