Hi

Im looking to move into wfp cleaning. Was just wondering what you guys pay monthly/yeary for ur water?

Im on a meter.

Also i have read alot of posts on here where there seems to be alot of waste when purifying your water. Is there any ways of reducing the waste? (i have never used wfp before)

Hey,

I use 2 Di Vessel setup and you don't waste one bit of water. And it depends on you TDS (hardness) of your water! Also you get instant pure water. So sometimes with good customers I can fill up using there tap.

RO is great if you don't have a meter.

Another way to get water which I'm researching into is renting tools from the water company and you can excess water ducks/mains. (I have a small tank).

Tip: With the 1st Di's you can wait until it reaches tap TDS then swap it with the 2nd Di then the 2nd Di gets the new resin.

£25 a week, how many litres do you use per day?

i live in a very hard water area so would prob be looking at a RO system

[Dave Willis]

£25 a week, how many litres do you use per day?

 400-500l more or less. Hard water area so I have an ro. £25 includes the house usage too.

Look after the pounds and the pennies will look after themselves.Don`t worry about the water costs.
The important question is how much do you spend on water in relation to your income.Don`t sweat the small things. All costs must relate to turn over or income.

What's your TDS going in?
Mine is 90 out of the tap
Wondering if this would work for me too.

Works out about a tenner a week.  Sole trader with 4040 RO.

90 is far better then mines. Its around 200-300.

don't go cheap with the RO.
from my experience the smaller RO's have a very high waste output compared to the larger ones.

[richard jagger]

That not quite accurate its the amount of membranes in series as the second membranes recycles the waste of the first and the third recycles the waste of the second. And if you did not have waste at all you would be killing your membranes as they will never be any flushing as you make pure. A sure way to reduce waste is increasing back pressure I use my by pass valve to increase the pressure and regulate with my pressure the flow.

i have had 3 RO's and all of them have only 2 membranes.

the first 200gpd
second 450gpd
third 600gpd

and its actually surface area of membranes, there is only so much water can pass threw smaller (cheap) RO's so higher waste output.
