Water system would i require for working in the North/East areas Darlington, Teeside , Sunderland,
IE; Is the water hard or soft.....??
-
Darlington has soft water , Teeside hard water . DI only if based County Durham , you will need RO if producing water in Teeside .
I have a 200 GPD RO which is over 4 yrs old which i am not using now as switched to DI only . So selling RO i did post about 2 wks ago i have been that busy with moving house and sorting new house out i have not had time to sort anything out .
I also have two 300gpd membranes brand new and boxed with invoice of £74:00 . anyone intrested ring me 07588 751 617 . not willing to post . Mike

Buy a tds meter, and test the water that way you will know for a fact, you will need one anyway cost about £15 anything over 40 I would go for an RO and DI unless you do very little work with WFP

teesside tds is around 115 (Middlesbrough). Thats what ours is In Saltburn as well.
Hartlepool gets their water from wells and that's horrendous. 485 - 550. (It had occurred to me that Hartlepool purify their water for a couple of the industrial estates to near laboratory standards. They are probably putting that waste flush water back into the water supply rather than drain it away and waste it.)
Not sure where Darlo gets its water from, but one of the wells Hartlepool draws its water from is near Darlington.
Ian's right. They only way to know is to buy a tds meter - first purchase.
When we first started our water was 255 in Saltburn, but after they had renewed all the pipes, it dropped to 90. It has been around the 115 for the last year or so now.

My highest reading so far in new house is 45 somedays it is 26 I am Di only now and wished I had switched from Ro years ago as I can produce 400 ltrs in less than an hour instead of 8-10 hrs with an RO. Mike

Hi Mike
I thought it all came from the same place - Kelder. If it does the higher tds in our area must come from the storage reservoirs. Interesting
-
It does mate but surely after heavy rain etc pollutants get into water and affect water quality hence different readings .
At our old house the highest tds reading I had was 75ppm same supply as well lowest I had was 23ppm . Mike

Thank for your advice guys. Think I will need a RO system to be on the safe side......

you may well save yourself some cash by using this link and a tds meter.
