DI set up
« on: September 17, 2009, 11:27:50 am »
I've built a small round now over the last month or so, and I'm keen to start on a wfp set up, but as the round isn't huge and costs are a factor, I'm looking at the best way to introduce myself to it.

I'm on a water meter, so not sure how much this should affect my choice ?  Some of the waste figures for RO that I'm reading makes me worry about the volume costs.

If I put a 250ltr tank in the van could I use this to continually fill and work from a backpack ? or would a trolley be better ?

Would a couple of 25ltr DI tanks on their own be suitable for producing the smaller amount of water I currently need ?

Or am I better just saving for a van set up and be done with it ?????


Thanks for any help or advice, I know these are questions that are boring for some, but it's info that I need to find out..

If you have a small round at the moment, you also have a small need for water. So why not look at harvesting rainwater from your roof? The rainwater probably comes at between 2 and 6 ppm tds. You will then want a DI pot to polish it off.

Having said that, I use raw rainwater just as it comes off the roof and it gives perfect results every time.
