Title: ro unit?
Post by: jampot on August 30, 2007, 04:19:14 pm

hi all im going to be making the step into the world of water fed pole.  :D :D
my water is 85ppm. i will be using the wfp 3 days a week.
i am not on a water meter.

would a ro unit get my water down to 0ppm?
or would i still need di?

or would di only be cost affective for me?

any help please

you should be ok with di only but as your tap is low . it wouldnt hurt if you had ro either . what size di vesel were you thinking of using .

If you're only going 3 days a week, a 100GPD RO unit will be perfect for you,.. set it up trickle filling a 1000 litre IBC tank.
Have a look at this one:
http://www.ro-man.com/shop/product_info.php/cPath/22/products_id/318
Its on sale at the moment, and comes with a free in-line tds meter (Still buy a hand-held one too!) This unit has a small DI vessel at the end after the RO, so your water should come out perfect. Just flush the membrane every once in a while, change the resin every 3-4 weeks (700mm of resin for each fill,.. won't cost much to run!) and you're laughing.
