Too small?

What do you reckon?
Too small?
I would say 500 Ltr minimum for 1 person.

Generally too small if you want a bit of reserve for longer days/first cleans.
I use 300 litres on an average 6 hour day.
My first van had a 400L and that was fine for most days.

I bet you get longer and more done than you thought but you will need a Univlave if you don’t already have one,saves huge amounts of water.
-
Too small.dont forget you always need at least 25L in the bottom of your tank to stop you getting airlocks.
I regularly drain nearly all my 500L tank in a 6 hour day(and I use a univalve with a high flow)
Using a high flow makes me work quicker too.
-
Yes ideally you want a 500 but I reckon you’d be surprised how much you’d get done with the right dead end set on the pole and a univalve
-
I’ve got a 350 usually lasts until 1-30/2-00 starting about 9-00 getting a 500 fitted next week.

There will always be the days that come where you may need or want to work on . or have a few first cleans to do , so 350 may not be big enough depending on your needs . I carry some barrels as back up and a pump to transfer the barrels into my tank while I work.
I am also fortunate that I live in a soft water area ... around 50 ppm , so when I need to , I take a DI with me and top up while I work

You'll probably find yourself turning down the flow and being very carefull with the univalve trying to get by.
I have a 650 tank now, ive run out of 500l a few times.
