thats obviously for your van, when i get a van will i be able to fill up a 500 litre tank for instance straignt from a tap so you do it super quick and then produce the pure as you are using the system to clean... having the ro after the tank.

You use a 4040 ro prior to tank, prefilters-4040-tank-di. I have one forget ro man and merlins, go straight for one of these and its money well spent!

Not super fast mate, mines about 125-150litres an hour, you can use two to produce more, gaps do a kit with two ro's, which gives better production.

In my eyes that is super fast :o :o, i have been running 4040's for a few years now and it takes me 4 plus to fill that without a booster, wheres the place to get  a booster pump?

Hi Dave,

Do I understand correctly form your post that you're getting 4 parts pure water to every 6 parts waste. Only I was given to understand that 4040 ROs were a lot more efficient than that. My 300gpd Freedom unit, though producing pure water much more slowly produces it at about that ratio in winter but in this weather it's more 50 to 50 waste to pure.
