Hi,
I'm on the water meter and have a couple questions,
1) How much would you think it would cost to fill a 650ltr tank a day 20days per month?
2) If it's really expensive what's the best way round it? As iv heard once your on the meter you can't change?!
Cheers.

1 phone up ur water company and ask them how many litres are in a unit and how much a unit is
2 chances are if your on a meter and yuor neighbours are as well, you will not be able to change, as newish house are all on meters, some use rain water
-
if you have had the meter installed (old property)
then the cut of point is up to 2 years you can ask for it out
if after 2 years your stuck with it
have you a internal of external meter
-
just depends weather u get a RO SYSTEM or just a DI .if u get a RO u will use way more than what u produce and it will cost u a fortune.if ur water is under 50tds get an DI only and try and fill up at ur mums or girlfriends whenever possible thatll keep ur bills down to a minimum.hope this helps

they will not take a water meter out anywhere, only time they will is to replace it with anew one.
for the guy that started the topic, if you are using 650L a day you will not be worried about the water charge trust me. I have a 650l in one of my vans the bills are cheaper than you think ;)

i think you need to get your facts right FIRST anglian water policy is up too 2 years if you have had the meter installed

i think (wessex water) its £1.70 per cubic metre (1000 litres)

Shame the waste water produced can't be intergrated back into the household system in some way. Seems daft flushing the toilet with drinking water.
-
I'm seriously thinking of connecting a string of water butts to the drainpipe to harvest rainwater and topping my IBC up with it throughout the rainy season.
-
freind of mine is DI only
just got his bill through for £750/yr :o
thats not estimate either.
400 in van
400 on trailer
and they top up at custies where they can.
thats north west.

Thanks for the quick replys,
I'll be using the RO system so just connecting the hose up as opposed to having a tank at home, £750 a year doesn't sound as bad as I thought, I was thinking that would be per month!
-
the above post says di only a RO will cost u more than 750quid due to all the waste water u produce
-
Oh right, read it wrong, I'll ring the water company up see what they can do/say.
Cheers.

Please can you call them for me and ask them to take out the meter as my bill as gone up 4 times from what it was ;) because when I asked about taking it bak out they said no...maybe they are trying to con me

Is there anyway that we could harvest are waste water from ro, and plug it into the tolets and bath ? this would cut bills by £30 a month.
This I would be interested to know, have not looked into it at all..

unfortunatley i have nought to do with anglian water just know there company policy with reguards to the meters as they tell the newly installed meter customer this when they have a inspection
if you have a indoor meeter send me a email as some times this works and sometimes not

-
