I need to make pure water using a di vessel i think - One than attaches to an outside tap but the problem is that i dont have much space in or around the house to have a holding tank
Sorry to ask these questions but im new to the pure water process and WFP
Can you help?

[jouk45]

do you have a garden,

[Platinum NW]

YEP got one of those

[jouk45]

quite a few w/c keep theres in there back yard or garden

[pingu]

What is your tds?

[Platinum NW]

How long does this water in the tank stay pure before its contaminated?
How much does a tank cost also?

[Platinum NW]

What is your tds?

Dont know the tds - Where would i buy a meter?

[jouk45]

will stay pure for years if you keep it sealed

[jouk45]

any wfp supplier will stock them, i think before you ask any more questions, i would wait until you check your water hardness

[Platinum NW]

cheers jouke
Il think about that one - Is there no way around the tank?
How much does a tank cost ?

[pingu]

Cleantech.co.uk, Gardiners..any other supplier that sells wfp kit....

Also, perhaps if you need to store water...how's about burying a tank in the garden?

Cheers
Dave.

Dont think my mums plants would like that

[pingu]

Think of it like a 'garden makover'...send her away for a day shopping...and hey presto...when she gets back you have 'kindly' introduced a new flower bed and some very intresting new plants.

could i fill 25ltr barrels instead?
Any clues on how long this could take or if id need to supervise the fills

[jouk45]

for instance i dont use a holding tank, my water is soft around 42, i fill my water containers in minutes,

[Platinum NW]

so if the reading is high it takes longer to fill

[jouk45]

not longer if it is a di vessel, but the resin wont last as long

[jouk45]

or you could buy the pure water from another w/c in your area, if your in a big hurry

[pingu]

If you have a lower enough tds...you may only need a DI resin vessel & resin opposed to needing a ro system & di resin vessel.....knowing your tds will help you should you need to purchase gear.

Cheers
Dave.

dont think so. Think it would be cheaper and more convieniant to do it myself. How long does the resin last for normally as the ones iv just looked at on the internet are £88 +vat
