ro making 450 liters in 24 hours (boosted)
« on: October 22, 2012, 06:59:17 pm »
Its enof for the working day about 150 liters over id say and with days off i should be ok but the ro has been running for 2 days straight :D
first 24 hours was to fill van tank to the brim 2nd 24 hours was which ended now was to fill barrles and 220l water butt so in total i have about 770 liters which is pretty much 3 days work, 1.5 to 2 days in van tank and 1.5 days in storage

i find it pretty insane that ro running like crazy for 2 days my question is does anyone els do it this way? the booter pump is running quite cool so no problems there
i think i would prefer something alot faster as im in a flat i have a garden hose going to the balconey and its a bit annoying especially over 2 days! ;p

about 60% in favor of product wouldnt do more as it can effect membrains or resin alot faster
not sure what pressure is but its boosted otherwise it would be dire

been looking bigger ROs dont come cheap whats the best buy these days wouldnt mind something that can make 220 liters in 4 hours
