what is the smallest ro system thats worth buying? im on a budget at the mo and need to start,so ive seen a 50 gallon a day one will this be any good as a start?,cheers.

yes...a good start....but you'll probably quickly out grow it.

Try Andrews Water Treatment, they have a small unit which is capable of 2500 ltr /day for aroung £700

It depends how much water you need

A 50 gallon a day R/O will only give you about 175 ltrs of water in 24 hours

[matt]

i find a 60 gall more than enough for me, and its a great little starter

[easycleanwindows]

wow.........what would i need then i constantlly use 700-1000 per day six days a week non stop?

what would i need (ro unit)assuming i want to get through 35-40 houses a day(3 bedroomd, easy houses)--this leads me to my next question...how much water do you lads think id need to get through that amount of houses if i did the top &bottoms of them with wfp, and i wanted to use a trolley system. basically what system would be best for me?-as all of my work except 1 estate, is within a few minutes walk  (i live in an estate sandwidged between loads of other estates containing my work!) so i could get my missus to drop of more water containers and collect emptys  as and when i needed ....Any advice  as to everything id need and a rough price for it all, for a bloke on a budget ,would be appreciated , thanks all

which way you look at it you will need 15-30! ltrs to clean a whole house - I find the 3bed semi's all in a row tend to drink the water , we do a patch with 10 in a row and did 200ltr's on them easy last week .
I have a 100gallon a day RO-Di from Ro-Man that gives me aprox 225lts's a day ( its running at the lower end on the water pressure ) If you get enough water containers you can get in front for thr week tho with it .

if you need more water  you may  need a merlin/wizard

if you on a budget you can't go wrong with Matts site , the sack barrow system works well , we use two all day now .
Add a remote control to the power pack as it saves you walking back to the trolly .

What pressure should it be for 1st and 2nd story work? ie ground,1st,2nd. also do you have the pressure on higher on the 1st few cleans?

where did you buy the remote control?Dai

c w window cleanin asid - "i could get my missus to drop of more water containers and collect emptys  as and when i needed ...."

Careful about getting your missus to carry 25 litre barrels. Each barrel probably weighs half of what she dose. You don't want her to put her back out.

where did you buy the remote control?Dai

Maplins , you want the remote reciever , code L55af , and keyfob code L5af.
www.maplin.co.uk
the reciever works like a electirc switch . You have to tap in to a 12 power supply for it to work then the other two white and grey wires patch into the +  power feed to the pump, forming the on/off loop.
Also you want the reciever to be set on LATCHING mode to work .
the diagram that comes with it doesn't show how to wire it up to well but if you need any more info send me a message and i'll draw a picture of the layout .
In the photo I took out the light of the power pack and used that power supply , you can turn the reciever on/off with the old light button now as well .

Hi JSM, thanks for that. Any one tried using a car door remote from the scrapyard?
Some of them seem to have quite a long range. Dai

I don't think its possible to clean 40 houses a day using wfp unless you like doing 17 hour days.

For example it takes at least 15 minutes from start to finsh to completely clean a 3 bedroon house, top and bottom, windows, front and back, then you have to move to the next house and set up say 5 or 10 minutes, so on average the fastest I think you can clean a 3 bedroom house is 20 to 25 minutes.

40 houses x 25 minutes clean time = 1000 minutes = 16 hours 40 minutes + lunchbreak 20 minutes Total 17 hours
