The wiring is only temp for the next few days or so, im aware its a bit dodgy.

As for the tanks, im gonna get 2 more rachet straps, and secure to the proper ancour points by the bootlid.

Does the pump have to be upright, or is it ok where its to?

Any other advice will be helpful

At the end of the day all you need to do is get pure water to the end of a brush...

Looks like your setup will do it fine!

That looks much better!

I particularly like the cut out for the di unit - good idea that.
Just watch the small, loose items as they are the ones that will most likely smack you in the head if you hit something - could do with some bulkhead protection or similar.
I'd either change the hose reel or just get some microbore hose as it's so much easier to use and considerably lighter to work with.
Wish you well.

Thanks mate, you seen yesterdays picture then lol
I plan on upgrading hose, reel, pole, varistream in the not to distant future.

Is the pump ok postioned like that? also, how long will the resin last? it reads about 68, then goes through the di

Pump looks fine, can't see any problems - mine is vertical in a weatherproof box and higher than the top  of the tank but no problems with it either.
Resin life is directly proportional to the tds, the volume of water used and the water mineral content. My well water is around 70 which is half the tds of my ground water supply but for some reason about twice the iron content and the resin doesn't seem to last any longer. Saying that my rain water is half that again but the last resin change has already lasted 3x longer. Try it and see  :)
