stopping the water flow
« on: January 08, 2011, 02:30:35 pm »
I have a RO and Di in my out house with the hose connected to the ro. I have a 250 litre tank just say it takes 6 hrs to make the water is there a cut off switch, or ball cock type thing to stop the water so if i forget it doesn't flood my outhouse.

The wife will kill me lol......

Please help and thanks all

you could install a ball cock like in a toilet cistern or fit an overflow to prevent a flood or even try a hozelock type timer tap that you can set if you know how long it takes to fill (set the time slightly less just in case)

My Pure Freedom van system has what you want.

Try them,  or get the timer as SPE says and fit an  overflow pipe to the top of tank and a hose to the drain, garden etc, just in case your timer fails or you set it wrong.

Darren... if you have the space, get a holding tank to keep it in, then transfer what you need in the morning. That way you dont need to worry about flooding the van. I've got a 1000L ibc in my garden... paid £25 for it from ebay
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go
