will depend on what work you have to do with wfp, I would not get a 100GPD as it is way to slow and would drive me up the wall.

Do you have a budget of are you on a shoe string ?

I personally would look for something secondhand, what is your budget for everything?

200 GPD would be much more suitable for your needs.  www.ro-man.com sell one for £215.28 inc. VAT:

Yes, I have a 200 gallon per day unit but upgraded it to a 300 gallon and then also added a booster pump.

200 per day is not good.

200 per day is not good.

200 GPD is fine if you have reasonable water pressure.  I run 2-3 window cleaners off of my 200 GPD pumping into a 1000 litre IBC.  My water pressure is 100 psi and the unit gives me between 500-800 litres per day depending on temperature.

The trouble with most of the 300 GPD units on eBay is that they are built down to a price.  As a result they do not have an inbuilt pressure gauge, an in-line tds meter or particularly high quality membranes.  All of these things are very useful if using the unit for window cleaning.

this is exactly the same one as i got from pure freedom and when the membranes go i will replace them with top quality ones. the only diffence is an inline tds meter and thats not worth 150 quid. i,ve bought , tried and 12 months on it is still performing great and still without any ptf tape or leaks.
