Title: Water
Post by: niceandclean on September 11, 2006, 08:19:23 pm

I was wondering if anybody knows how much you get charged from your water company to fill a 1000 litre tank from your tap? I was speaking with a friend and he seems to think around 7p per 1000 litres but i thought this seemed too cheap? Any of you WFP guys checked??

How does that work, 2 bills? And 1.50 per 1000 litres of water?

Macc i think im getting confused? ???  Waste water, you pay to dispose of it? Im investing in a WFP system, one that you fill straight to the vehicle, i know you have to back wash the system, how much waste water do you get??  :-\

Ive a ro man from Gardiners, in a hard water area & its 380 at the moment. So to di only would cost mega bucks. Not sure what my waste to pure is, sorry.
Are you in a soft water area?

Waste water can be differant all over the country it's soft water in Cardiff...but still the ratio pure to waste is about 20% to 80% waste. :o

CCWCC1988

The waste/prodct ratio on RO will be virtually the same on hard or soft water, its just on taht on hard water (usually a higher TDS) your product water (pure) will have a higher TDS than that of an RO run in a soft wter area.
