Title: ro frost?
Post by: monkeyman on December 20, 2008, 04:36:27 pm: would it be ok to keep my ro unit on overnight outside next to my water butt, if it was wrapped in bubble wrap and sheeting.heard that cold and frost can cause damage to unit.not got a shed at the moment so hoping this will be ok.
any advice? ???
