Title: good problem to have?
Post by: suds window service on October 30, 2009, 03:08:18 pm: well we have out grown the 300gpd ro/di system we use,we also had a booster pump fitted to this.
i find myself re scheduling work that we should be doing ,to another day to conserve water :( (no good for business)
i need some thing that will make me 600l plus per day....any thoughts and price range i will be looking at.
thanks Dave.

Post by: DaveG on October 30, 2009, 05:27:06 pm: I m a bit confused? You say you need something to make 600l + per day but your 300 gpd unit should be producing 1200+ litres per day?

Some times your pump has 80 pressure a low delivery of say 22 litres per hour. Before you buy anything chech you amount of water your pump will deliver per hour.

He has a 500GPD system on trial at the moment that gives a 73% pure to 27% waste ratio,.. as well as some larger systems if you need them. The prices are very good too! Mention me or ACS and you might get a bit of a discount too. :)

Post by: Window Washers on October 31, 2009, 08:28:11 am: I would upgrade the RO, so when you grow you do not have this problem.
4040 are not that expensive anymore
