Buying pure water at 15p per litre sounds good to me espesially as were on a water meter but is it financialy viable ?
r/o systems aren't cheap but there not so expensive that i shouldn't own one, so what im wondering is it a easy way of getting on with wfp trolley sys (buying it in 25l cans that is)

curious

£150 for 1000 litres you must be mad, Ill sell you 1000litres for £100 then your saved youself £50.

[Moderator David@stives]

i`ll do it for £50

[rosskesava]

I'll deliver it also - £50

[Chris Cottrell]

wow thanks for the response but im still curious as to how much it costs to filter 1litre

[Moderator David@stives]

I'll deliver it also - £50

Hi ChrisC

Are you asking how much it costs per litre if you are on a meter?

If you are - personnaly I don't know but I do know another local window cleaner who uses WFP and he doesn't think the cost enough to worry about in terms of his business.

Hi Dave

Er...... maybe not to Penzance though....

Do you think it's actually £0.015 per litre? (If we're talking about metereage here.)

That is £1.50 per 1000 litres. Sounds more realistic to me!

[Chris Cottrell]

the cost is acually £0.15 per litre

this my 1st enquiry into the cost per litre
so only have this as a frame of ref

Hey what do I know, but I've had the calculator out all day, sitting in front of this idiot computer screen learning about pure water systems.
I think if you are using roughly 2000L pw it'll cost about £10 on your bill.  I'm on a meter.  What's that?  About .05p per litre.
A little knowledge is dangerous!

Where would you be buying your water at that price? 15p per litre?

It'd be far more cost effective to brew your own - preferably with an R/O, but even with resin only it'd be far cheaper.

from a local aquatic supplier

If you wont some pure what, we sell it at 20 pounds per 1000lts But you will have to drive to dorset for it, as it happens we surplie me local W/C companys.

So I gather from all your responses its cheaper to brew my own ( cheers Malc(G)ould )

I better get an R/O then

Thanks guys

[matt]

just buy a RO

im on a meter aswell
my last bill came in a while back, and i worked it out it was costing me 4 quid a day to work

thats nothing

[Chris Cottrell]

Matt

If im right you made your own trolley didnt you

do you polish water off after R/O or is the tds so low you dont need to?

[matt]

yes i polished it off with DI resin

i started off using this, its refillable and costs about 10 quid, add it to your RO and your all set (some of the RO from RO-MAN come with a DI cart anyways

it comes with all the fittings etc



as my RO brings the water down to about 7 or 8

10 quid of resin lasted me near 8 months

[Chris Cottrell]

Thanks Matt

I'll do just that

using you as inspiration and gonna build my own cart

Thanks again

[matt]

no probs

pop over to the DIY forum, most of the questions have been asked, and most answered

What size RO (gpd) have you got??

I have had my wfp for about a month now along with my RO (50gpd) and was looking at buying resin but not sure if i should go for the 25kg bag as it works out cheaper.

My tds goes down to about 3 - 4 before it goes through DI.

If it lasts that long i'm not sure i will need that size bag as i am not sure if there is a sort of use by date with resin??
