Bit of an overkill ::)

My 40-40 does 2000lt in 10 hrs

RO-man 300gpd will be more than enough

Maybe over kill, but why go for less quality when you can have the best and quickest way to make water, I have tried a merlin and a 300gpd and they just take up to much of my time, so twin 4040 is great for me and I love over kill ;)

A 4040 all though more expensive will produce water fast and purer.

I have just bought a second hand merlin and I filled a 850Ltr tank in 6 hours from normal tap pressure, no addition pump.

my tds is 467/479 a merlin will do what you need, I go with 4040's because I wanted the best available at the time and had the money to spend. I sold a merlin a while back for £80 perfect working order
