Don't mean to highjack the thread, but while we are on the subject I have found Purefreedon very easy to deal with so far.
They have recommended this;
1 x High volume 40 inch Reverse Osmosis System with automatic fill & shutoff.
2 x 20 inch Reverse Osmosis Prefilters
1 x 500 litre Baffled Tank
Full stainless steel securing cage.
2 x 100 psi Pumps & Strainers
2 x Flowmaster Digital Electronic Pump controller, one controller to incorporate a level fill relay and the other to have a built in split load relay wired to the vehicle to provide on board charging.
1 x 100 Ah Deep Cycle Leisure Battery
1 x 18x6" DI vessel complete with Deionisation resin
1 x Professional Metal Hose Reel with 100mtrs of 8mm Microbore Hose.
1 x Handheld Digital TDS Meter
1 x GXTEL 4S Fibre Glass pole c/w brush
1 x GXTEL 20S Fibre Glass pole c/w brush
1 x Protectacote kit to protect the back of the van from water spillage
External Ports for filling and working from the vehicle with it locked
All fixtures and fittings and a professional trouble free installation at our factory in one day, and if required training in the use of water fed poles can be arranged
The cost for the above will be £2422.73 including VAT
Does it sound like a good starter system? They suggest 2 pumps (one for a back-up) even though I am a one man band, is that necessary?
Cost ok? Poles ok?
Any advice gratefully received, cheers
not a bad setup
the spare pump board and controller is a fair call, as if 1 breaks you might be down from work for 2 or 3 days while a replacement is posted etc etc, take into account the lost income and it makes sense , i have a spare pump on my van, just ready to swap over if mine breaks, down time will be less that 10 mins
i wouldnt go with the poles as they will be heavy, but i use converted fishing poles for lightness, plenty use FG poles though and they are happy
i do wonder if the RO is overkill aswell, but then i allways think this, as i use 250 L a day
break down the costs for buying the parts in and building it yourself
