good point mate. ive read all the posts and as you ve seen i posted to find out what i needed and most people advised on the ro unit as it would save me in the future, as i have no experiance with wfp ive just bought one. but after what you said im concidering di only.
simply cos its maintance free and as you needed it.
mines around 85ppm im on a trolley 3 days, 6 hrs day
what you think it l cost?

Yes, + no storage tank, no booster pump, no transfere hose, no waste water etc, etc.
just goes to show how un-knowlagable some people are with the advise you've been given.

all approx- & + vat
2 x  11ltr DI vessels      100 quid (stream doing 13ltr ones for 50 quid at mo')
1 x  25kg bag of DOWEX resin   69 quid (wintecs doing free delivery over 30 quid)
3 x lengths of normal garden hose  (free if you already have a hose pipe)
a hose tap connector & a few female hozelok-type hose connectors (10 quid)

So about 180 quid ( 200 tops to be safe) + vat & delivery ( although, like i say, if all come from wintecs delivery is free, but i dont know how much their DI's are).

With your stat's i would estimate resin costs for a year to be about 100 quid, but you need further advise on how to make the resin last longer, which i will give you if you decide to go this route. it's simple & takes about 1 minute to do.

Another point jampot
If you take your DI vessels with you in your car/van, providing where you work has a similar tap tds & they're not on a water meter (with permission ofcourse ) you can fill up your trolley/water butts from customers outside tap.
I do this regular on my round, i've tested all their water & know which ones have the softest .

no problem at all, but you'll be suprised how very, very simple it is to make pure water.

Yes, but not at full pressure, better to turn the pressure down a bit. no pump needed, straight from tap.

If i get chance tomorrow i'll take a pic of what you need & it set up on my outside tap. it goes like this-
tap - hose - 1st vessel - little piece of connecting hose (2-4") - 2nd vessel - hose to barrel / tank. yep, thats it.

P.S. the vessels come with male hozelok on the input & output so it's just a case of putting female ends on each piece of hose, just the same as connecting any garden watering equipment.
