Thanks guys.. I thought i might have to drain it out!

Allso.. 'This may sound a stupis question' But people hjave been asking me if the pure water we use is drinkable?

[Alex Gardiner]

It is perfectly drinkable if you drink it straight out of the RO Machine.  However, if you leave it standing in a tank, then there is no defense against bacteria as you have stripped the chlorine out of the water (which is the very reason that the water board put chlorine in).

But bacteria takes time to grow right?  I have 800ltrs in the ibc take in my garden just sitting there waiting to be used money... I will test to make sure its still pure enough to use...  It should be

So if the water's pure, what do these bacteria eat?

[Alex Gardiner]

The water is only pure by window cleaning standards. What we remove is dissolved solids down to 1 million parts.  The water may still have bacteria, etc in it.  This of course poses no problems for cleaning windows with but technically it is not really 'pure'.  Some websites have described WFP window cleaning as sterilizing the windows which of course is absolute rubbish.  Bacteria only needs light and oxygen to multiply in water.

Ah, right.
I've always told my customers that, because it sounds "super clean"
