Pretty much every componant from fittings to poles I have spare in some form..obviously not the ro system itself...

Just last night the strainer in my cleantech pump box spilt...(flooding van ;D) luckily I have a spare but for normal hose size...so can Monkey fix it!

The only reason I carry so many spares is that over the past few years mybusiness has changed but even more so I do not have the luxery of overnight replacment of part/bits as I live in The Netherlands and buying here is just far too expensive....so I buy once a year those bits that I think I need...now it's just a question of topping up the spares box.

Cheers
Dave.

Well I'm going to start investing in some CF poles. Will keep the fibreglass ones as a backup though.

Thanks guys

Hi Matt

That's it in a nutshell.

I been there and got that tee shirt. The only parts I don't carry are RO membranes and housings - filters, RO pipe and resin obviously.

Sadly its the cheapest, smallest parts that can cost you the most amount of downtime.

A bag of resin will cost around 120 euros...say 109quid...
A 650litre tank around 650 euro's...

I have really looked at this and it's just not worth it...so I buy in bulk..

I have 2 years of resin and filters for r/o ...plus loads of other spare...

Not many wfp small time operators here...
