I heard 450 RO dosent really produce more pure per hour, am i wrong. anyone changed from a 300 to a 450. was there much noticeable differene
-
I went from a 300 to a 400gpd from vyair .
I used to have my 300 running 10-12 hours a day to produce 350ltrs .
I now run my 400gpd for 3.5 - 4hrs a day to produce the same , I was advised to get the 400 instead of a 40/40 because my tap flow is pretty weak, they were right! I'm producing more than enough for myself now
-
Gardiners do a 500 which is only one memrane, brill.
-
Get a 40x40 my water goes through 2 pre filters and comes out of RO at 002 I have an HF5 membrane.
-
im going to think seriously about the 4040 RO after the new year, start my new year in 2017 with a good attitude regarding getting my set-up to the best i can, Hopefully get out of my kitchen producing my pure atm, but if a 400 /450 RO is a lot more productive i may try this before getting a 4040,
thanks

Shrek is that with a booster pump, im going to ask vyair to loan me a pressure gauge to test my water pressure
-
With my 300 ro it used to take 3-3 1/2 hours to get 220 litres with a booster pump.
ATM its taking around 5-6 hours. must be the colder climate
-
I get that reading with water pressure of no higher than 40psi water in is around 270ish
-
Ive not used the lower gpd RO, but i use a purefreedom 450gpd. My tap is around 280 ish (from memory), by end of prefilters my tap pressure is about 34ish. But i use a booster pump taking it to 70 and i fill into an 1000ltr ibc tank which i transfer into 500ltr tank in van, or top up etc.
To fill my ibc tank from empty, takes around a day n half, around 36hrs ish.

Yeah , it actually comes as a complete unit -2 booster pumps - pretty smart really . I fill my 1000ltr ibc up and it takes about 10 hours

Shrek what comes with 2 booster pumps,
Nathan, how long do you leave your booster pump on, surelly not 10 hours, when & if i get a tap fitted going into my front shed space id be able to leave RO on all night without worrying about any leakeages occuring in kithen. Sh-t does happen when your not expecting it.
This is why a 4040 RO in van is a bit daunting as its a new stup to get used to, A 300 / 450 RO is so easy to manage.
I suppose a 4040 RO would be the same just the membranes are a bit more expensive.

looks a mess but it does the job, er in doors not greatly impressed. but if it keeps me from climbing ladders thats ok.
-

-
my outhouse is facing front door, but my drain is under my kitchen window, making it awkward getting waste water away.?
any ideas if you were in my position,
oh i forgot to replace dish full of pots
-
Round the outside of patio or garden against fence into drain you'll need a drain if you drain it straight out into the garden in a few years you'll get a sink hole lol

The RO unit comes with 2 booster pumps , it's all together nice and neat in a compact unit and then the DI vessel separate .
You can only run it for 4 hours at a time and then it needs to be switched off for 30 mins - I think so the booster pump can chill out for a bit .
I had virtually the same set up as you , took forever to produce water especially in the autumn/ winter months. Now I run it for 4 hrs to top the ibc up and I'm done !
I would defo recommend getting an ibc aswell , there not expensive and once it's full ( depending on how much water you use) you don't even have to put your RO on for a day or so
