Title: flexi-filter
Post by: alanwilson on May 04, 2008, 01:52:22 pm: anyone got one of these?

Not looking for a new ro but have to say I'm impressed by the capacity of the larger setups - 24lpm!

24lpm did I read that right?

I thought 8lpm was good, any chance of a link to this setup ~?

You would pretty much have limitless supply of water, you only use 1,5l per minute or so, you could keep your tank topped up until the job was finished. Only limit to take on work is if they would want it done in one day or not (if your just on your own).

That's pretty excellent.

Post by: alanwilson on May 05, 2008, 03:07:02 pm: yeah I thought it was good, rejection rates seem ok too, it would mean that you can virtually top up anywhere, and very quickly too.

not a lot of use for our work but I would say for some it would be ideal - big hotel, lunchtime - stop for half an hour and put another 600ltrs into the tank!

Post by: *foxman on May 05, 2008, 09:40:33 pm: The flexi Filter is a Merlin - same membranes, housings, etc. You can add more membranes, etc but the same problems you may encounter with that system will still exsist with this one.

Post by: alanwilson on May 06, 2008, 12:01:38 am: are you sure?

reason I ask is that the quoted figures for the base model (2 membranes) is much higher than the merlin in terms of lpm

Post by: *foxman on May 06, 2008, 01:53:36 am: Yup I'm sure. There is no way on earth you will get the figures you have been quoted with 2 membrane setup. The advantage with the flexi is you can keep adding to it but it's made of the same components.

You'd be lucky to get 24lpm out of a tap let alone an RO (with out serious hardware and a bigger water supply)
