I have some newbie questions regarding RO's if anyone could help me out.   :

When using a van tank is the normal process to make the water by connecting the RO to the mains and then pump the water from the RO out into the van tank?  Then from the van tank through the DI to polish and up the pole?   

Or is it a case of through the RO then the DI then out into the tank ready to use?

Sorry for the basic questions just trying to get my head around the fundamentals. 

Also is it easier to have the RO/DI setup on the van?

I know that some people use a static tank at home to store the water.  Is there any advantage with doing this versus sending it straight to the van tank?  Other than you can keep making the water while your out?

Any help appreciated

Cheers, Mike

Thats the way most 'systems' seem to work.

Or is it a case of through the RO then the DI then out into the tank ready to use?

There are a few who do it this way too, I've heard it said its less work for your pump if it doesn't have to pump through the DI vessels on its way up the pole. Whether it has any adverse affect on them i've no idea.

 The fastest producing 40 " RO filters will fill a 650 litre tank in about 2 hours. Thats assuming you have great water pressure (70 PSI plus?). So your van will be plugged in for two hours.
 Using a smaller and cheaper RO system to fill a static tank whilst you are away from it, will give you a 'van fill time' from a transfer pump of about 15 mins, max.
 Downside to having it in the van is you having to watch it for two hours when you finish work for it to be ready the next day.
 Upside to having a static system is you don;t have to do that, you can spend 15 mins in the morning (or evening) filling it before you go to work.

Any help appreciated

So the with the van systems do you need to run the waste from the RO from the van to the drain (I'm assuming the RO is on the van)?  Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick?

Yes the Ro is fitted in the van and the waste runs out the drain pipe.
