Oh yes I do!
Far far cheaper than ressin.
Mike at cleatech worked it out I would go through 2 sacks of resin a year! :o
Thats over £120 per year.
I bought my ro for £79.99
Just changed the filters after 18 months for £20
Quids in already ;)

I would get about 57 - 60 litres in the same amount of time - but mine is 300 gpd. Looks like you're doing OK.

so you run the ro along side with the resin then, that what your saying matthew

You have to be joking ??? you can't possibly neglect ALL the benefits of pure water on demand for the sake of less than a hundred quid per year :o

my very thoughts,

25ltrs in 3 hours,are you joking.

Hi Mac,in 3hrs my 500ltr tank would be overflowing big time.40x40 is the way to fill a static mega quick,i could go out in the morning having filled up 500ltrs from static and come back at lunchtime and re fill.

I fill my 400ltr in 15 mins straight from tap, mega water pressure here & DI only. :D

sorry matthew, i am not having a dig at you, you know me better than that m8, i am just surprised at seeing you use an ro,
it just seems to me a waste of time, for a few quide, matthew your water is 20 tds am sure, dont think it can be beaten on this forum, have you calulated it, and is it saving you money, i have an open mind, so i am listening very seriously,

The other point joe is that the method for working out how much pure water an amount of resin will make is missleading, as using 2 DI units in sequence & shaking the vessels when tds rises more than doubles it's usable life. this is certainly the case with dowex resin. It's unreal how long dowex will hold a low tds reading for. I have one 11ltr vessel that hit 001 tds about 6-7 weeks ago & (with shaking) is still only reading 005 & is pre-filtering the new vessel.

Guys o guys o guys!
I dont run resin along side my ro. Just ro on its own.
The reason I dont want to use resin is because I use a backpack............
My tank in the van is full with 000ppm water and I have a submersible pump in it to fill up my backpack in seconds!!!!
If i was to fill the van tank with tap water and di it as I use it, I would have to use my shurflo pump to fill it and that would take ages!!!!!!! (I've done it >:( ;D)
I also like to be on a job without having to worry about resin rising. I always know I have 000ppm water with me.
I know ro is slower to produce but for me its easier.
I hope you can see MY point for filtering my water that way?
;)
P.S joe, i'll sort you out when you come up this way!! ;D
-
seems a bit slow to me 25ltrs over 3 hours aint alot at the moment im using a 200gpd ro unit with di it takes around 20 minutes to do 25 ltrs i allso have a booster pump so im getting constant pressure

Clear Vision, my setup will be one person on a van mount, another on a backpack, I will be purifying onboard ( 2x di vessels ). I could purify at home instead ( 34 tds ). So how do you fill your backpack up that fast from a tank of 000 ppm ? Luke
-
25L in 3 hours is about half the amount you could be getting from the system.
It is all about water pressure, if you can get the pressure up you will produce water faster, the TDS in the water will be lower, and you will have less waste.
You could check to make sure all the mains pipe taps are fully opened, the ones that supply your feed tap. Failing that a booster pump is an option.
If you are happy with the amount you produce, in the time it takes to produce it, then carry on the way you are. If in the future you need more water, or water faster, then add a booster.

12v submersible pump with a 1" outlet and about 2m of 1" hose coming from it.
15-20 secs max to fill it.
Your tds is 34?
Same as me ;D

i thought about a booster pump but the thing is when i got the ro it came with a barbe inlet that connects to the garden hose i now no that a lot of ro systems come with thin 1/4 pipe to connect to a tap is there any thing i can doo to change it from been a garden hose inlet to a 1/4 pipe fitting and how do i connect it to a garden tap
-
anyone help

Does your system have a 1/4 pipe? If so there is connectors that screw onto a garden tap and have a quick connect connector to take the 1/4 pipe.

Clear Vision, i have heard of people using just some sort of tank outlet or something ( I think ) without the need of a pump, and filling the backpack up in a few seconds from there van tank, Luke

Maybe,
But.........
It would have to be a big outlet and the backpack would have to be lower than the water level when filling up. You would prob have to sit it on the road.
