Price seems to be for 400ltr system and picture is for 650ltr system. Don't think 400 ltr would be enough for a 2 man set up.

yes but with that one you would have a back up pump it anoying when your pump goes and you cant work and also as you grow you have the choice of taking on and having two of you working

having two DI vessels on a system has no benefit at all, you may as well have a 22" or a 32" vessel. if you have two all that happens is that the first vessels resin is exhausted first then when that has no more capacity to purify the resin in the second one will then do the work.

By having two small resin vessels, you will have to change the vessels less often before your TDS reading rises above 000 but when you do change you will need to change both.

I advise you get a single 22" or 32" vessel and save yourself sometime and only need to change 1.

Matt says "What's wrong with having a backpack as a back up?" it works out cheap and is also handy if you end up with 2nd person cleaning

two di vessel is a very good idea for longer lasting resin.

just swap them around when tds starts to rise.

it does not matter if you swap the resin vessels around this does not change anything, the mixed bed of cations and anions contained in resin will absorb all impurities in the water as soon as they pass through.

as mentioned above the first resin vessel will do the work until the ions have reached there capacity then the second vessel will start to do the work as the when the first vessel was purifying the second vessel was doing no work as there were no impurities left to remove.

The only benefit to having two vessels is longer time between changes but you will use the same amount of resin as a bigger vessel will have more resin in but last the same time as two small one's.

its make sense if you think about logically, you can't argue with science.

One thing i will say without knowing the 100% truth is that it may not be a good idea to change the vessels around as when the second one is exausted and the first is doing the work 000TDS water will be passing through resin filled with impurities and this may not be good for the water without having any adverse affect on the TDS reading.
