I was thinking about this today as I running around picking a few pipe fittings up from the local DIY store about whether it would be feasible to loosely pack some DI resin into something, what sprang to mind was pair of my missus old stockings  ;D but a sock would do, and then fit this into the downpipe that fed the water-butt or whatever container the water was held in. Not too tight, enough to allow the water to still flow through, but that would then be a home-made DI unit, save worrying about having to do it prior to use, save worrying about pumping it through (gravity would do that for you) and ready-made ready to use water for the windows.

Any takers?

I found this pic on another forum,.. but he reckons it works well and has actually reduced the amount of resin he uses. I think there is a flow restrictor in the inlet pipe otherwise the DI would take a bit of a hit when its raining hard! The water goes in at the bottom and the pure product water comes out the top.







Thankyou for that, would you mind posting the link, if its allowed, if not could you email it to me please
