"Besides his poles, neatly racked inside the roof, there are a couple of 2,000-litre plastic water tanks, two reels of bright yellow hose, something resembling a traffic cone."

Good article though.

A few anomalies perhaps but:


4,500l could be used with 3 vans 500l of pure is 1,500l at a 2:1 waste/pure ratio.

When that was written, he probably believed the 7ppm. Some people used to do all sorts of things ie. soak their brush heads in pure water overnight.
Some people still advocate not cleaning at more than a couple PPM.

His tap water could be 400ppm. Mine is 350ish...

1,500l-see above.

We've probably learned more than we think in the last 5 years or so...
