Thinking about getting one of these big RO but I don't have a lot of room to put it. Is it ok to put it vertically?

Mount it on top of your tank.

Apparantly you can mount it vertically.

It's going in a shed with no hoziontal space.
GQC - picture indicates yes to verticality.

unless I am wrong and anyone that reads this please say.
if it can go vertically, then it should give better performance as water is going down so little more pressure for the membrane (very small I know) but as tesco say "every little helps"

I'm looking to also put a 40/40 in my shed.
Could you tell me how you over came power probs to shed??
What is the max tank you will have in your shed. Thought anything more than 600ltrs may be too heavy?
Where would you recommend getting the 40/40 from??

I have a brick shed with mains already in it - concrete floor, but the tank is in the van.
www.gapswater.co.uk (http://www.gapswater.co.uk) is where I'm looking for a 4x40.

Thanks Rosy

You can mount it vertically no prob.
The only thing u might come across is those Champ housings do tend to leak a bit from the ends. Not the inlet or outlet ports but the bung things that go in each end that are held in place by the white plastic split rings.

i have a 1000ltr ibc in my shed too, its the smallest shed you could find, and the tank is up against the roof on blocks touching the sides, i had to saw the front of the shed off to put it in, then screw it back on. Even when full the wooden floor has not broken or cracked , theres is a brick stack under every corner to lift it up for gravity , i dont think it could be too heavy.
you can easily put in a garden power supply, mounted in your shed, and a cable through the wall from under the ground. makes sures its a well insulated one.

you can always add more supports to a shed base that easy timber yard few bits of wood same hight that comes with shed floor problem sorted, if you dont want it to rot protectacote it one tin would do most of the shed including the sides

thats a good idea, i think il use something like protectacote, or similar to water proof the garage floor, take the vinyl off and cote the floor and up the sides a little too, idont think i will with the shed as its allready quite old, and i think il put that ibc in the garage too soon.

use what the car gargages use on the floor not protectacoke if I was you, but not my garage I guess.
