personally i think the RO will be too big for your needs, you could save youself 100 quid

18 RO System - RO System: Merlin 720 GPD RO System (+215.00) 1  £215.00

720 GPD yet you only have a tank of 250 L

Im planning to grow this business a quick as I can,I will have a 1000ltr tank in my garage,and most of my work at mo is local to my home.

Also If I can get a bigger van.I will go for a 450-650ltr tank and forget about the static one.

Forget about having an RO in the van,just have a DI in the van and make water at home.I didn`t realise how much of a pain it was going to be having an RO system in the van only.

When you look at the individual prices that is pretty expensive, for example the 250l tank you can buy that elsewhere for around £89

No,I will need one of those,If I go static.Just found a Doblo that is local,If I can pick that up,I believe they will hold a 400ltr tank,which should do me for now ;D

A good transfer pump will cost you £200,to fill your 400ltr tank it would take 3-4 mins if that.

£200? I use a submersible for about £25 seems ok.

How long does it take you to fill your van from a static with that pump though.
