Its £109 without pump and tds meter.

That looks pretty good to be fair mate. just get a resin vessel after it and your all done.

If i have it rite the di is to small the pump is also to small the rite pressure but litres per hour to little.I bought from the sale company today a 200 litre per day with a 10 .5 in di unit with flush kit and gauge for 139.net no postage This will give me +- 600 litre per day.

That ro unit should make around 200l a day depending on water pressure. I have the 300 gpd unit (does around 600l per day) and it works brilliantly.

Also affected by temperature - produces more water in the warmer weather.

If your water pressure is low you would need a booster pump.

600 litres? It sounds like you don't have a booster pump.
My 300 gpd produces near on 1k with booster pump and the tds after the ro unit is also halved because of booster.

lc when you can afford to get a booster pump to go with your ro, do it. They are self financing and will pay for themselves over time.

Yes it just runs of mains pressure of 50-55psi. Not sure exactly how much it produces in a day but I generally use around 500l and it produces a bit more than that in 24 hours. tds in 200, out around 004.

I have a 1500l static tank so I turn it off for a couple of days then when tank getting empty run it for a few days until full again. It always keeps up with what I use plus a bit.

I'm on a water meter and don't think there is such a thing as commercial rates I just pay for what I use charged at same rate as domestic.

Being "commercial" though does mean I am entitled to a rebate on the sewrage charge for the pure water.

Would think it a lot more expensive to buy water. My water bill has increased around £500 (tax deductable) a year and I work 5 full days a week. How much do you spend a year buying water?

2p a litre. Which I thought was good. I don't have to mess around with ro or resin.  Or stick a water tank in my garden.  Don't really have room for one

Three valleys water supply my water but Anglian water bill me for the sewarage treatment so it is Anglian I get the rebate from.

That is a reasonable price to pay but as I usually use over 2000l a week that would cost me over £40 a week. It would be as cheap to use D.I. resin instead.
