Title: would you be happy
Post by: macc on March 18, 2006, 05:56:24 pm

hi. to date ive been buying my water in already purified. ive a tucker van mount, i never use more than 1500ltrs a week, on a 4 week i use 5-6000ltrs tops.

just been told new price of £30 per week.

would you be happy to pay that?  ???

have you any suggestions, ive read on here its expensive if i purify with my resin only.

at present i have nowhere to put a static tank and i can't really run a hosepipe to my van and leave to fill up.

is there any system that i can add so that i can top my tank up with the hosepipe and it purifies as required.

any info would be very much appreciated.

fill your tank up with tap water, then run a di resin tank after it to purify the water as it comes out

macc were in east sussex sell resin at 63.75 plus vat
if you use resin only youll maybe  only use one sack a month if you split the comp vessels so one fills up the other used to polish, maybe two sacks worst case

i thought that water was about £10-15 per thousand litres

we have statics but are quite out of the way idd happyily sell at £15 per thousand liters otherwise there the merlin or fitting a 40x40 r/o to your system

Answer from Malc G:-

a 1000 litre tank will be approx 1 metre by 1 metre by 1 metre.
a 500 litre tank will be half that size so 1m x 1m x 500mm high or 1m high x 1m long x 500mm wide or 500mm x 500mm x 2m high.

(If you think of 250 litres being a cube of 500 x 500 x 500 you could work out where the tank could fit)

Bear in mind that the smaller the "footprint" then the stronger the base needs to be to take the wight.
