Personally no!

Someone will have to be at home at their beck and call to supply water no matter when they call, unless you instal a petrol pump type arrangement that does cards only (Asda). To provide that over and above your needs you would have to have 3 IBC tanks and a 4040 twin r/o although you could get away with a single. You would need to be changing filters every few weeks.

Expect them to dump you when they get themselves sorted leaving you with equipment that is overkill for your requirements.

If it was a single windie and you could afford a small amount a day then I would have no problem with that.

If you need to invest in more equipment, then its a no. If you can do it with what you have got then if the price in right,yes.

Spruce! As usual you provide a full comprehensive correct answer.

The question was hypothetical.

My answer would of been NO!

Pointless post?

Maybe

Highlighting the fact that 'not helping the competition out' makes good business sense, maybe. (Always help friends out tho)

Hope you and the family are keeping well Bruce. Hope the forcasted wind does not make a show tomorrow. I bet it was a bit blowy up your way?

Personally, I wouldn't sell water at any price.
It's just feeding the competition.
Especially round here, there are loads of 10p per pane shiners.
And it's definitely RO + DI, the water is minging here!
To a mate-yeah, anytime.
As a business, nope. Not for me at all.
