How many litres of water do you use a day?
« on: September 01, 2008, 12:39:07 pm »
 I use a trolley system which has a 25 litre tank and I carry round a spare 25 litre container incase there are no taps. I am looking into getting a baffled tank to put in the back of my estate. maybe 250 capacity? I loose track of how many times I fill up in a day as I top up the containers every few houses or so.

Just wondering how much water everyone uses per day?

 Thanks for your quick response. Know any where to get a cheap baffled tank? All I can find is at least £100

no worries....    i got mine from purefreedom, i dont think you will get a baffled 250 for less than £100 but i might be wrong, i paid over £100 for mine...   i just get jerry cans full and take them with me.. works for me.

I seem to be using 15/20 litres per 3/4 bed semi-detached - but I'm sure I could get away with using less. I just don't want to risk getting any complaints/losing any customers.

I take 200 litres with me, however since I started using a trigger on the pole that 200 litres go a good deal further.

done a school last week, used an 800l tank on my own , filling up as i used it for half the time I was there.
every day for 4 days.
thats defo my personal best/worst.
wouldn't want to do it again.
if only they maintained them properly, it was a proper state. full power all day just just to get through the filth.
