Making Pure Water
« on: August 02, 2009, 09:23:27 pm »
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?

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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
