I had a really good look at the 10 and a one to one presentation of it. It really is ground breaking and deserves more than a one line answer. I think if we all had 10k we would all have one. More at the weekend.....

However - think of the ~~poorly managed/high profit water supply~~ "drought" in certain areas last year.

If you can re-filter and re/use 300 litres of water over a month (and even if in real terms this was per week) then this would be a winner for jobs where the customer develops a "conscience" ~~wants to save some dosh at our expense~~ over heavy water usage. Could it even be drought order compliant?

I predict that if this works then in a few years time we could see a wet vs dry debate as prices fall and the technology (which isn't rocket science) becomes more DIY.

(Oh, and if Ionics are reading this please send your cheque in a plain brown ~~Mercedes Benz~~ envelope! ;D)

In that instance might as well just use resin - 100% Zero reject and £15k would buy you a hell of a lot of that stuff!
