Title: Making the most of some surplus bits. Advice please?
Post by: andrew hamshare on December 10, 2012, 05:00:20 pm
Hiya,

I have been DI only since starting up but have acquired a few RO bits that I want to put together and convert my set up.

Please could I have some advice on what to buy to make it work and what is the best set up.

Here's what I have:
25l DI

RO

I am re-jigging the feed (outside hose) so that the reel is in the shed, which I will run a cable to and have my oil filled radiator in, set to a timer to combat the low temperatures.

I have also got a nice sized holding tank which I assume I'll need a transfer pump to extract the pure to my containers.

Note, that I currently use a trolley system.  This is ideal for my current workload as I am not aiming to go hell for leather and my current round is sufficient for my purposes income wise.

I would really appreciate any links to filter suppliers etc, not because I am lazy, it is because I am a terrible procrastinator and faced with search results my brain goes into overload.  Took me over a week just to narrow down my options for something as basic as gloves!   Frozen fingertips and nudges from Mrs H prompted my eventual purchase.

Sorry for long winded post but I waffle.

Thanks in anticipation.
Andy

Sorted now, thanks for that Ian.  Never expected such an informative day when I woke up this lunchtime.

What a refreshing conversation amongst the doom and gloom of a blustery winter's day/week, Ian I have added you to my list of people who I owe.  I don't send Christmas cards as a rule but if I did you'd have a 1st class stamp on yours.

Thank you Mr Wicks.

Don't bother with Wicksy (see what I did there), go and ask Ian Beale. He's most likely in the chippy now.
