I usually bring my filters and hoses in when it's going to be a frost, as I don't want any cracked or damaged kit.

However I'm pretty low on water at the moment and wondered if it would be alright to leave it out if it;s running.
I assume if it's running it won't freeze? Or is that a bit of a gamble?

Throw a old thick coat over it, blankets etc...(coming from the guy whos had 3 systems smashed lol )

If its just below freezeing a blanket should keep it safe whilst it's running. Just remember to bring it in when it has finished. Minus ten and it's not worth the risk.

I think he means running over nite?

Depends on lots of variables Squeeky, at this time of the year its still warm, I would but if the ground is frozen outside and if any of the waste pipes are touching the ground and could freeze back to the RO,  I wouldnt. -4 or below I wouldnt chance it

[Sir Squeaky]

Thanks guys.
Ill leave it on until bedtime then bring it in then.

I've lagged my tank and ro with thick fibre glass from b n q and then built a box of ply around that. The waste pipe comes out underneath and the di vessel is next to the tank wrapped in more glass fibre. I hope that'll keep the worst weather out as I don't want to have to bring it all in every night. I run it all day when the water pressure is up but it dips at night here as there's less demand i suppose so I switch off. If the systems all properly lagged there shouldn't be a problem, should there?

I have had a PF van mount fitted for the last 3 years. All purification etc in van.  Only had one problem. I always put an oil filled heater in van when below  minus 3.

The one problem I had was last Jan, didn;t work for weeks, even with the heater on (was low),  the pipe from pump froze  but no problem after warming.

I find as long as water trickling into van it won't freeze.  Mind you I live nr B'ham not North Scotland
