At 250 I think you'll end up spending more on resin than you will on water

I live in a flat as well and the only answer is to become very efficient at using as little water as possible whilst not compromising speed or quality.

Resin only will cost a fortune at 250ppm from the tap. I know, I've tried it at about 200 - 220ppm. What ever Gardiner's resin cost meter thing on his website says, at 250ppm you'll be lucky to get a few thousand litres from a bag.

Also, if you've had the meter less than a year or have been in the property less than a year, you can, by law, go back to paying a flat rate charge for water but don't mention you have a RO system.



Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Is that correct that you can ask to stay on a flat charge for water ?

Yes it is. I'm have a meter and I'm on a flat rate.

Really? I've never heard of this?
Do you know how much your bill would be if you paid the metered rate? And how much do you pay a month on flat rate now?
If you don't mind me asking.
My water bill is quite high. If I could reduce it at all I'd be pleased.
