I`ll put some pics if anyone wants to see them of my conversion to save money
on resin by adding a 25 litre resin which only needs changing about yearly.
some new filters blah blah
and whats inside the cover of the thermopure

Excellent, what a good idea. I like you have spent alot of money on Ionic filters!!

[edd]

yeah me to ...a new colour change every 2 months at £78  now one bag a year of resin £75
carbon filter change every 50000 ltrs and a £3 sediment filter
I have also put another filter from the di to the tank just to catch the tiny bits of resin and it only needs
changing once a year 1 micron filter £3 but I change when I do the others anyway

[niceandclean]

What a simple conversion, im impressed!!

I'm glad i'm not the only one i didnt want to seem a bit thick
 having never seen a thermo pure in the flesh so to speak it would be nice to see exactly what is so great about what you have done

It just shows what you can hide behind a fancy cover!

v8edd, looks like you know what you're up to.

I presume that it is an older system so you're not worried about invalidating the warranty.

thats a nice looking backpack. and his van isnt always that tidy...hehehehe

only playing

[edd]

well this crap picture might give an indication of what I have done like
1    no more  carbon filter  tube
2    no more softener tube
3    no more dam backwash salt wasting my time everyday hmm??
4    no di tube
5    ro in better place
6  **  25 litre di new
7    10 inch filters for carbon filter and carbon block and particle
8    10 inch filter after di just to catch the last particles before it goes into the pump
9     re plumbed with plastic fittings like John guest so that they don't leak any more!!

** the 25 litre di should last a year as the tds is only 004 ish and resin is about £70 a bag the savings are considerable
where the Ionics tubes are £88 ish every 2/3 months
10 also I added a thermostatic controller to regulate the water temp from under floor heating shop if this helps its where the hole in panel is and its brass
11   I installed a 30 litre water softener in the house which does the house and the van for £ 400 ish www.gapswater.co.uk


hope this clears it up for some of you and hope it helps for you to save some dosh like us EDD

question,:

the filter after the di vessal, what type is it ( name and price?) what did it cost and how often do you have to change the filter and what would be that price?

sry for all the questions, it is a fantastic idea as it covers you alot more from spotting etc just wanted to know, i dont mind asking things like this as it will help me and anyone else thinking about doing the same 

cheers for the added pics by the way 

[edd]

I have also put another filter from the di to the tank just to catch the tiny bits of resin and it only needs
changing once a year 1 micron  particle filter £3 but I change when I do the others anyway. the filter is any 10 inch
one from anywhere like £ 20 ish
www.gapswater.co.uk sell them so does any other co on here try Alex Gardiner www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk
