If we get a lot of rain the sediment in the water rises dramatically to the point the pre filter lasts a week or less,I was producing water so slowly 1 week I checked and the filters were spent in a few days-week

Yeh someone else said that who lived in heckmondwike his was less than 100

It's 150ish  in Wakefield and it's 150ish at my mother's house in rothwell

Still I don't moan, quite lucky round here, I know some have it way worse than that.

i know im lucky.i dont think id of gone WFP if i had to mess about with ROs etc.

i could probably get away without purifying my water at all and just use the water straight out of my tap but i always put it through resin first.

Water is about the only thing that is purer here in the North West than most of the rest of the UK

The water bills for us lot in Essex are massive as we have such a huge amount of waste water from the RO’s. Not to mention the whole cost of filters, membranes, etc etc etc

Never mind, we just have to charge more  :D
