I don't think I've seen a topic on here about cost per litre. How do you guys cope with the cost of that? Do you find it's negligible compared to how much you earn a day? I'm not a home owner myself, nor live on my own, so I haven't really looked into the total cost of water. Is it like 0.08p per litre?

I mean, 400 litres a day, around ; what is it? 200 working days a year? (probably more like 240) anyway, that's like 80000+ litres a year? How much money does it actually cost to run a 400ltr system a day?

Any ideas and experiences with this?

I was told around a 1000 litres is about 2.00? I dont fill up at home i fill at a relations house and have been for 6 months, they have told me that they have not seen a difference in the bills they recieve!

It costs peanuts with an RO. Regularly shake the di polisher and its cost me one bag of resin in a year and a half. But if your on a water metre, its another story...

United Utilities charge 112.6p for 1000 liters of water.

My parents house is on a water meter, what exactly makes it a different story then?

So it's £1.12 per 1000 litre ey?! that's not so bad at all!!

im on a meter and in the 2 years my bill has risen in 2 years by about 20 quid a month

i use 100 - 150 L a day though, 3 days a week

i would say 2 quid a day for me, its not much, not because i earn more, just for the safety side of it

I take about 5000 liters per day including waste water and my water bill sits around £150 a quarter

Do you have a water meter?

[George P]

[[GQC] Tim]

Hm, that's not too bad I guess!

Thanks for the replys!

Trevor, 5,000ltrs per day??

Do you not mean 500ltrs per day?  Are you still using that submersible pump instead of getting a Shurflo like I told you to!!

Think he runs a few vans? Thats how he uses so much water

[JM123]

I thought Trevor had 2 vans?

[Trevor Knight]

Hi Guy's,

Have 2 vans on the go 5 days a week an 1 new van that we are gradually building up.

The 5000 litres per day is inclusive of the waste water when producing our water. I have 2 x 1000 litre holding tanks as well.

Yes JM, guilty as charged 

[JM123]

nice one Trevor, kerching!

Hi all,

I am on a water meter and my usage is 400/500 litres per day. I am on a meter and per 1000 litres it costs me £0.83p Not bad at all.

I used to buy my water of another window cleaner before getting an ro unit and that cost me £16:00 per 400 litres!

So for me being on a meter is far cheaper !

I've been thinking about this and I don't like some of the answers. I am on a meter, and my supplier's website states that it charges domestic customers £106 for one cubic metre (which I think I am correct in sayingis 1000 litres).

There is also a charge for drainage.

[[GQC] Tim]

Hm, yea you are correct on the thousand litre. £106 is alot for a thousand litre. hmmm

That doesn't sound right to me.  Maybe there is a typo in their price list?  £1.06 would sound closer.
