I need to make pure water using a di vessel i think - One than attaches to an outside tap but the problem is that i dont have much space in or around the house to have a holding tank
Sorry to ask these questions but im new to the pure water process and WFP
Can you help?
-
do you have a garden,
-
YEP got one of those
-
quite a few w/c keep theres in there back yard or garden
-
What is your tds?
-
How long does this water in the tank stay pure before its contaminated?
How much does a tank cost also?
-
What is your tds?
Dont know the tds - Where would i buy a meter?
-
will stay pure for years if you keep it sealed
-
any wfp supplier will stock them, i think before you ask any more questions, i would wait until you check your water hardness
-
cheers jouke
Il think about that one - Is there no way around the tank?
How much does a tank cost ?
-
Cleantech.co.uk, Gardiners..any other supplier that sells wfp kit....
Also, perhaps if you need to store water...how's about burying a tank in the garden?
Cheers
Dave.
-
Dont think my mums plants would like that
-
Think of it like a 'garden makover'...send her away for a day shopping...and hey presto...when she gets back you have 'kindly' introduced a new flower bed and some very intresting new plants.
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
could i fill 25ltr barrels instead?
Any clues on how long this could take or if id need to supervise the fills
-
for instance i dont use a holding tank, my water is soft around 42, i fill my water containers in minutes,
-
so if the reading is high it takes longer to fill
-
not longer if it is a di vessel, but the resin wont last as long
-
or you could buy the pure water from another w/c in your area, if your in a big hurry
-
If you have a lower enough tds...you may only need a DI resin vessel & resin opposed to needing a ro system & di resin vessel.....knowing your tds will help you should you need to purchase gear.
Cheers
Dave.
-
dont think so. Think it would be cheaper and more convieniant to do it myself. How long does the resin last for normally as the ones iv just looked at on the internet are £88 +vat
-
cheers
If the resin is high is it necessary to use ro also or is that optional to purify the water further
-
You are really going to have to find out what your tap tds is before your can find out answers to questions like that...perhaps a fellow window cleaner in your area might be able to help...why not put a shout out to see if anyone in your area can help you.
Cheers

im just going to buy a tds meter. I know there are two water supplies in our area as we made an enquiry when me and a friend where looking at some land incase he decided to buy it for building. so il make sure before i get water out of a different pipeline
-
The tds will then give you some information that will be useful to determin what you will need to make water....
How much water do you think you will need per day...?
Cheers
Dave.
-
cheers guys thanks for the help
-
yes i would recomend that you do buy a tds meter, or you could be over sold wfp equipment you dont need, and that has happend
-

Enough to clean around 15 new build detached houses a day. Some with conservatories but il be able to judge the amount of water when i go cleaning them - il just make a large amount of water and see where it gets me
-
That'll be a fair amount of water then.....another thing you may want to know is what your tap pressure is i.e what psi or bar the pressure is...you'll need a pressure gauge for this..
Cheers
Dave.
-
you need a tank to do 15 new builds in my opinion i bet thats easy 400 litres
-
Good luck & Good night..
Dave.
-
Have you ever heard of google search?
try it it tells you loads. ;D ;D
-
theres a tank im looking at with ro system attached. Il sleep on it and phone around tomorrow.
Take care guys and thanks again for the help
Good night
-
if u let us know what area u ar .someone will give u a idea what ur tds is
-
St Helens - North west
-
unless you live in scotland you also need an ro unit to produce pure water
-
im looking at a small holding tank with a ro membrane on it soi just have to find some room in the garden and i should be up and running in no time

So far youve sold all your rounds, set up a building company, looking into buying more work to rent to a friend as you cant do it as your too busy with the building company youve set up, then your looking into car valeting along with wheelie bin cleaning, now you want to produce pure water to clean 15 houses a day, if your setting up a building company why dont you set up a construction cleaning company to work along side it, would save you money in paying others to do it and and do builders cleans after youve built propertys,

Hmmm, not sure about that, my son buys unlimited water for £100 PCM, not much more than a bag of resis, and the tank fill is really quick too!
he doesn't worry about freezing nights because he can fill up in the morning!
I would be interesting in hearing about a reliable supplier of pure water in SW london area, or within easy driving distance.
CV Price are sadly a bit too far for me.
