Are you on a water meter then ::)

I'm on one unfortunatly. My bills are quite high. I use about 1600 litres a week so you can imagine how much waste water I'm wasting. I've got a few ideas though to try and stop this though. I have a few customers that have said I can fill up from their house. Only problem is that I would be hanging around for 4 hours whilst tank fills. The other idea would be to just fill my tank from their tap normally then transfer into another tank at my house via merlin then back into my van again. Time consuming yes but lower water bills.

We use 1600 litres a day -most days :o
Yes we are on a meter.
It is part and parcel of running our business

yes but what does it cost you as having to switch over.

TDS might be too high to use DI

Someone I know takes a bit of water from peoples water butts, puts it in his trolley, the TDS is usually about 25, so when mixed with your standard water it's ok, as long as you don't do too much!! Not sure exactly how he transfers it.
But rain water harvesting could be an option I'm pondering it...

I started out using this method with a 35 litre di bottle but was only lasting a couple of weeks so bought a merlin instead and smaller di bottle.

Hope the customer is not on meter or you would be wrong to do that

I use a lot of water, not for WFP but for my swimmimg pool and we have a license from water board costing approx £180 per year . Maybe you should all check that way of paying for water

Phone your water board, as i imagine all areas are different . But i applied years ago, before they started installing water meters, on advice of swimming pool company. Told them i had a pool and water company said best way is to use yearly license, thats on top of normal standing charges etc

£100 per month for all your water , I think this is more than reasonable. esp when i guess you must be turning over in excess of 4k per month if you are using 3200l per week very low overheads wouldn't you say
