Do you know the TDS of your tap water?

[mark blundell]

no i don't but i know i am in a hard water area

[Lee Pryor]

your idear is fine, but dont bother with the DI in the van, have it with your static system so all the purification is done in 1 place. just tank and pump in the van is all thats needed.

Mark,
When I first changed over to Wfp every thing was in the van. Problems with filling overnight, so I have the basics in the van and ro and tank in my garage, I just use a transfer pump in the morning, takes less than 10 mins to fill.

Good luck Jay

If you cannot find a van you want with a fitted system, have you considered pricing up everything you need for a WFP system and buying a van without a fitted system within the budget.
This would leave you with more choice of available vans for sale.
You could then fit the system yourself or factor in the price of having it fitted for you.
And I would recommend an RO system because you live in a hard water area.
It can be done for £4500 but you will have to shop around.

being new to this its knowing how much for the system and how to connect it all up and when adding it up was probably better off getting complete van. although it would give me more choice with vans

You can buy DIY Wfp equipment from most of the well known window cleaning equipment supppliers.
A company such as Pure Freedom will supply and fit a system for you. Price will depend on size of tank, filtration system etc.

This company is in Essex

You will also need a TDS Meter to check ppm of your water (from £15)
Also you don't need a 4040 RO System especially if you are just starting off.
4040's are good for producing lots of water fast but if you are building customers up and you don't need 500 + ltrs a day at the moment, why not consider a 300 gallon per day RO unit?
You could get one for £200 - £300.
I paid around £200 for mine and it can produce up to 1500 ltrs in 24 hours. 
I have a static system in the garage with a storage tank which I find more convenient than a van mounted RO system.

that system in the link has the tds meter im thinking just get the hf5 40/40 now then no need to upgrade at a later date yeah its £615 but thats filters tds fittings  Pressure guages
and best of all Instructions for the setting up, running and maintenance of your RO system
and once its done its done no need for upgrading bigger tank ect
