Hi guys are these any good?

I also need a mains pump as my pressure is not too good, is it best to get one from here or are there better places?
Is everything i need for the RO in this kit?

Just bought an IBC so im going for a static system.....

Im on a tight budget and this looks good price wise

Thanks in advance

Dave

Have a look on www.cleaningspot.co.uk They sell the 300gpd version which IMO is a better bet and a reasonably priced booster pump to go with it.

[The Seven Bays Window Cleaning Company]

If you check Ebay after 8pm tonight I will have a complete 300gpd set up for sale.

Cheers will you have a "buy it now" price too?

How do you guys even manage with these extremely small units!? :


You must leave the water running 24/7 365 days a year. Or you only do about 4 hours work aday.

I certainly could not manage with these units. These units are not for window cleaning, they are designed to go under your kitchen sink so you can drink the water... or for Marine fishery.

Hi Dave what ro do you use?

Cheers

[Pristine Clean]

Hi H2

its a 4040

heres a link to the housing,

You will find the water production slow on the small units. You can increase the work of the RO by having less waste, but the RO has to work harder. If you are in a hard water area you will need a DI.

H2, with the questions your asking like pump(in another thread), and RO are you building your own WFP system?

[DaveG]

Hi  Pristine yes I am building my own system ..ive already got my van sorted (i was using a DI in van) but want a static system as im using too much resin with the Di only system.

then why do you want a submersable pump?

Why not use a sureflow 100psi pump?

with a veristream flow controller.


Would have thought it would look more professional and easier.

A sub pump will mean he can transfer his water from a static tank to van in minutes.
I think the shurflo is rated at approx 6 litres per minute. Tank along time to transfer using this.

The submersible pump is to tranfer from IBC to van

Ive already got a varistream and controller in van...

Well, yes thats true, I kind of looked stupid there, but was not actually thinking of that. But you've cleared that up for me

Get this one instead

I know the company and it's RO's are very good. It's much better value.

It's a 300 GPD as well instead of a 200GPD.

Used to fill a static system it should keep up with your water needs no problem.

Hi Andrew ....i phoned  you a couple of times when you worked at "the other place" and you helped me out with some questions i had back then!

So this is a belated thanks!

Does this RO come with everything i need, apart from Booster Pump?

Cheers Dave

[Andrew McCann]

Hi Dave.

I take it you already have a TDS meter. If you do then yes it's all you need. Regarding booster pumps for RO's of this size RO-Man do the best one for around £75..ish.

Cheers
Andrew

[DaveG]

Hi again Andrew, yes ive already got a TDS meter ..cheers

I know a booster pump increases flow of the mains, but can i just do without one and wait a little longer for the static tank to fill? Or doesn't it work like that???

Thanks Dave

[DaveG]

Im having a blonde moment,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Can you put a link up for the booster pump mate?...I cant find it! : :

Cheers Dave

[Andrew McCann]

Hi again Dave.

Basically the answer is yes.

It does have a bearing on percentage of TDS removed and waste to product ratio as well. The 300's are good because at decent pressure you will get 1 part product to 1 part waste which is good for any RO.

I would suck it and see. If it gives you enough water you are still going to save a great deal on resin use. If not then get a booster pump. There isnt any problem with running an RO 24/7 if you need to.

Cheers

Andrew
