your whole plan will work fine
1 36 tds is great
2 be a pain but it will work from your bath etc
3 250l tank worked for me fine till i got an employee i sometimes nipped home at lunch for a top up or use customers tap
4 250 litre tank and backpack covers all problems

i dont live in a first floor flat but it works for me and i know another w/c that does exactly what your suggesting

the only thing i cant advise on is the water meter bit sorry

36ppm your laughing m8 it is a complete doddle for you. fill your tank straight from the tap, you are  similar to me,

I DI only and have 2 tanks running inline so that I get the most out of the resin. Sounds fine. Try to get customers/relations on side and make it easier for yourself.

that will work fine, though if you have a airing cupboard or a spare cupboard in the kitchen, you could cut in a washing machine valve and connect a hose pipe up with that, the hose pipe could stay connected all the time and just turn of the washing machine tap when you are done, fit a tap at the end of the hose aswell for when you are down filling up , you can turn the flow off

3only want small van,250lt in a combo/connect,fill up at dinnertime at home or custys outside tap with their permission of course.would 500lt do 6 or 7 hours?

250 L does me all day normally, well from 9.30 till 3.30 ish

4 domestic round,van mount?and a backpack?

trolley with a 25 L barrel, fill it right to the top and you have near 30 L, fit tank in van, then use a caravan 12V sub pump to fill the barrel every time, works very well

i have helped over on the DIY WFP forum a few guys set up in flats, its very doable, 3 that i know of have even fitted a RO unit under the sink and run the pipe down to a 210 L rainwater butt that they have put below the window, its only a rain water butt and no-one moaned about it

e.mail me for a link to the DIY WFP site if you want to see it, diywfplink@yahoo.co.uk

or just google DIYWFP
