First step is to buy a tds meter and check your tds , type in pure freedom into Google search engine and have a look on their website, I purchased their diy system, very easy to fit

The reason why Panorama rightly advised your first purchase must be a tds meter is so you know which system to buy.

once you have done that, resurrect this thread and tell us what your reading is. The forum will be in a better position to advise the di or r/o route.

You will always need your tds meter when using wfp.

Im in Huddersfield and tds is about 70 ppm,  I also have family in Burnley and tds is exactly same there at 70 ppm. So im guessing your tds wont but that far from 70 ppm. ;D

You will need a RO and DI to clean the water of minerals. I would go straight for van mount, I purchased mine from pure freedom and I got the diy unit, very very easy to fit . What van do you have ?
