In a van mount is the water in the container tap water that get purified as it goes through the RO?  If so, where does all the waste water go?

I've been told that it's better to have a static system and purify the water at home and just decant to Van.

Would most agree that static are better?

I'mthinking of getting a 40/40.  Is this any good or recommended.

Thanks

Hi mate

First you need to find out how hard your tap water is, for this you need a tds meter or take a sample to a local wfp supplier or a local wfp'er to test. this will dtermine which kind of system will suite your needs best.

I've got one and it is 380 pps.  I have a water softner as the water is very hard.

If you say where you are, Andrew, someone might be able to show you theirs

go for a 4040 

[Andrew44]

I think that's going to be my best option rather than a cheaper RO man 300 which was what I was looking for.  Any ideas where the best place to get a 4040?

are you going to fit all the stuff yourself?

I mean in van ect.

I have a couple 1000ltr ibc's at home in the garage, with a system with 4040's, then pump to van when pured. I think its better than having it in the van, just unnecessary weight, though you can fill the tank straight from the ro di. I keep them on blocks in the garage, and fill the tank in the morning.

I've spoken to Gaps water and they said it's easy to fit the 40/40 together, so I'll do that in the shed.

I will not have the RO in the fan just the tank pump etc with the pure water in.  I want that fitted properly caged ply lined etc so will get that done professionaly.  I'm not that DIY savvy.

Can you recommend any firms to do this fit out or any other advise re starting out?? Going live in May so just sorting things out now.

Why do you need 4040 on a static system?

Why do you need 4040 on a static system?

good question. Unless using more than 1000 litres per day.

[Andrew44]

I was told and read that in a hard water area output would be low with 300GPD.  What would you recommend for a static system then?

I will have 500ltr in van and use 250 a day.

[frames to panes]

I'm not one to recommend - i have tds of around 380 and a 300gpd roman that gives me pure of tds 4. Buy a 4040 if you want i am just curious of the need for one that's all.

[Ian Lancaster]

I've used the same 300gpd RO-man system for the last three years.  Still the original membranes and still giving 4-5 ppm from 280 input.  I can get up to 1200lt/day.  Have just ordered a new 2000lt/day from RO-man as there are now 4 (soon to be 5) of us needing water every day but for a one man band you can't beat the 300 gpd.

Where are you Andrew?

why not have a 4040 if you have the money to  , I like things done quickly, I could of got a 300gpd but i didnt what it.

and in a year if you are using say 2000L a day you will have to get another RO.

No one can tell what the future holds, this is IMO thats all guys so please dont jump on my back for giving my opinion

[Jon-scwindows]

yes and it depends on your tap pressure too, i have a twin 4040 system which makes 1000 litres in about 2 hours... this has an electric pump to produce that kind of water..

i also have a 300gpd pure freedom ro, which runs of my tap pressure, this is not that high and it will fill a 1000 ltr ibc in about 125 hours. So around 200 litres each day/ 24 hours i leave it on overnight. The waster is almost more than the production but i think its about 50% waster 50% pure water, i just have the waste runing around the garden watering the plants.
obviously its different where you live what water pressure you have, this is in a hard water area, and my tap tds is about 250 and goes down to 25 with the ro. Then 0 through the di. Its quite slow, but thats fine for me as this is at my other base right near my round so i can fill up from there and i dont need that much water from there.


but i would go for a single 4040, that will still make it allot quicker

twin 4040 now theres a thought, I am only getting 650l in about 4 hours maybe I should get another, then again I dont have a pump.

only 650 ltrs in 4 hours  only? do you use more than that in 4 hours? whats your tap pressure like?

the only thing i dont like about the 4040s is the cost of new membranes, but regular flushing should keep them good.

its a kind of weird looking industrial electro crazy machine with a 24/7 pump & with two 4040 ro's on and di. Shown on here before. works well though! you dont really need something like this just two 4040's would be just as good or 1 on its own is still plently of water production
