Twin di setup
« on: July 06, 2016, 08:30:18 am »
I'm travelling 20 miles to get water from my sisters who I pay £100 a month to purify it for me I've worked out at 3 days a week over the month I'm spending over £200 and using a twin di it would only be just over £100 with the cost of resin my TDs is 130, I live at my gf and her kitchen is at front of house so can't fit a tap to back of house as a lot of work involved and her landlord a grumpy old git so wouldn't give go ahead anyway, so I'm going to use tap in kitchen to fill tank in van 600 litres and purify it as I use it, my question is can I put a 20" pre filter then twin di after my tank then my pump to draw the water? Atm my pump is before the di but would it struggle if it was after this setup I'm thinking about?

Cheers

If your on a meter it works out at £2.90 roughly per 1000 litres round here.......if your not it's £440 per year water rates.
So at 10000 litres a month it would cost you £30 per month not including the resin.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Our Shurflo pumps pump water better than sucking it. I would be putting the twin di's after the pump tbh.

I would put the prefilter/prefilters on the delivery side into the tank.

A 10 inch pre filter will be more than enough and put it beside your tank so as its just a matter of running the water
though it as you fill the tank, it wont slow the flow down.
Personally I find putting the pump in front of the DI vessels better as you tend to get airlocks otherwise.
Your shouldn't have any problems with the pump coping.
