Hi
I know this has prob been discussed on here but Im sure that some people have got together and rented a unit purely for producing water that is readily available for all to use.
Has anyone done this and what is involved?
Cheers

Good question. I might use a service like that, handy to nip to if you ran out of water and didnt have a static tank at home.
-
I would be interested in a service like this if the price was right

I got a company near me who i get my water off they do the same thing make a mint out all the local window cleaners i just upgraded to a 400 ltr tank and its costing a small fourtune to fill up now £15 inc vat so im going to buy me own Ro system now im using more water.

Hi P@R,
I produce my own in the back of the van but just out of interest where do you get yours supplied?
The reason is that I know 20+ wfp's in the North London area and they have asked me before about this but no one has enough land etc in this area to run a set up like that.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Many thanks,
Nigel

What a brilliant idea
Anyone need water in and around the wellington somerset area ?
-
I had a unit and a very big RO system and sold pure water for 1000lts for 18 pounds

Did you do much business with it
like selling it to people with fish tanks and aquariums ?
-
1000ltrs i would say a fair price would be £5.
-
700ltr through a meter and with 2:1 waste only costs me 0.97p
-
Easyclean
can i buy my water from you
i think a cubic meter of water is about £6
-
Anyone wanna buy a 1000ltrs for 18quid,i thought not.LOL.

If your mains TDS is about 250, you would probably be just as well off using resin only as buying the water. You wouldn't save any money but at least you would be more independent. Of course there would be the initial outlay for a resin vessel but that's a once only cost.
-
just a note to add when i bought from the guy the reading is 0 so i didnt need my di can
-
if there is a demand for it in the derby area i wouldnt mind suppling it-im not on meter can use any amount-good ro system
-
£15 for 400 litres are you kidding thats a very good price! And so is £18 for 1,000 litres.
Think about it! How much money can you make with 400 litres?? Loads!
I am after a bigger system soon, and if there's someone selling pure water at around that price nearby I'm gonna take it.
Saves you faffing around at home, filling overnight, water bills, everything. Okay, it might not be as cheap as having your own garage system, but what about folk who live in flats, only work part-time etc.
I love this idea, and I would not mind paying £15 for 400 LTRS no way, thats an absolute bargain.
-
Behave yourself,how much money you can make from it dosen`t come into it.If your prepared to pay £18 for 400ltrs you must be mad,if you fill up 2-3 times a week it would be cheaper to rent a garage.
-
well wasnt so much of a money making idea... rather a convinience thing.
Its just that there are a few guys who live out of town and some with no storage or parking space so production for them is dificult. And as for the out of towners (wasnt that a film?) then they could fill up without driving miles.
Was interested in size of RO system would be needed etc.
-
Andy wcs, what are you saying, the correct calculation is £6?
I'm on a meter, and thought it was about£2.
To sell it you'd want to make a profit and there is a time element, as well as being messed about by wc's
