i have an option to buy 2 large tanks im not to sure of the capacity just yet... the present owner said its enough to service 6 vans which is what he is doing at the moment. he is moving away and he has given me the customers and equip . he said that whatever the amount whether half /quarter tank (whatever) is the same price i have a girlfriend who is home all day to take money. but i think he sells to cheap. just wondered what is a fair rate . so i can compare to what he charges. it takes only minutes to pump water into the tank so shouldnt hold people up too much if they do come at once

We have 3 vans between us, a 1000l IBC tank and a 450l R/O. One of the lads works 2 days a week, the other 4 days and I'm full time. In the winter we have to plan our fillups so we have enough.
But if you are taking over an existing arrangement, then whatever R/O his is using is probably good for the purpose.
I personally would say that you need to understand exactly what 1000 litres of water is costing you to produce which also includes R/O servicing and resin costs. It's only when you've got these costings that you can then work your selling price out. The trouble is that if the previous chap was too cheap then an increase will probably mean no customers.
Another thing you need to consider is your neighbours if you are in a residential area. They might complain to the council when seeing different vans coming and going.
