trippyWill you be using a Ro unit to purify your water, or just Di bottles?

The di can be expensive if you live in a hard area for water, anything over 100 ish is probably best with a ro to take the water down to a sensible tds for "polishing" , however DI resin is quite capable of instantly taking the tds to 000 but the higher the tds the quicker you use the resin up and at around £60- 70 a pop can be costly!!The ro is fairly expensive to start with but will recoup it in the money you save from not changing resin every few weeks, it has filters to take out the larger particles through membranes etc and then any small bits left get "polished" through DI making it a very economical set upSo RO is helpful in hard water area... Di only- you could do in soft water area , or when you dont use much water!

Di only- you could do in soft water area , or when you dont use much water! thats great information sean thank you, i live in a hard water area so what i can gather is my best bet is to RO and DI. just weighing up whats best static or van mount, im guessing 400 litres would feed the two of us for 2 solid days domestic??? How long would it take to pump 400 litres of pure water from a static to a tank in the van?
400 litres wouldnt do 2 days of 8 hours i dont think, i stand to be corrected but you might only just get away with one day, Certainly as someone new to wfp you will over use as you get used to it, you are probably gonna need at least 500 litres a day for two of you Are you both poling, or is one doing trad in which case you may get away with a bit less each day

Are we talking of several hours?
