flexi-filter

anyone got one of these?

Not looking for a new ro but have to say I'm impressed by the capacity of the larger setups - 24lpm!
I've never been to bed with an ugly bird but I've woken up with loads!

24lpm did I read that right?

I thought 8lpm was good, any chance of a link to this setup ~?

They look very adaptable, but I am not sure that they offer anything really new other than push-fit connections.

Thats what I thought alex, although 24lpm ro would be great in a van if you need to filter on the job as it were.

You would pretty much have limitless supply of water, you only use 1,5l per minute or so, you could keep your tank topped up until the job was finished. Only limit to take on work is if they would want it done in one day or not (if your just on your own).

That's pretty excellent.

yeah I thought it was good, rejection rates seem ok too, it would mean that you can virtually top up anywhere, and very quickly too.

not a lot of use for our work but I would say for some it would be ideal - big hotel, lunchtime - stop for half an hour and put another 600ltrs into the tank!

The flexi Filter is a Merlin - same membranes, housings, etc. You can add more membranes, etc but the same problems you may encounter with that system will still exsist with this one.

are you sure?

reason I ask is that the quoted figures for the base model (2 membranes) is much higher than the merlin in terms of lpm

Yup I'm sure. There is no way on earth you will get the figures you have been quoted with 2 membrane setup. The advantage with the flexi is you can keep adding to it but it's made of the same components.

You'd be lucky to get 24lpm out of a tap let alone an RO (with out serious hardware and a bigger water supply)

open flow I get 110ltr/min from my booster pump (which is connected into the mains via a non-return valve)
