we usually work a 6 hour day, so that should last us then, i can always pop home for lunch and top it up if need be.

do you use triggers on your pole? i find that these save on a lot of water.

I have done some research already,

taking into consideration extra fuel costs for carrying water it might actually work out cheaper for me to bin my static RO machine and fill up at customers houses.

I got a letter from the water board 2 months back saying they are giving me a meter :(, nothing as yet.

Just going to have to see what happens when they fit the chuffing thing..... :-\
