more money less effort      That is the case on some jobs but not on others

biggest payload you can affotd as it makes upgrading later easier

SHOULD I FIX TANK MYSELF OR GET ONE FIXED eg BRODEX?

if the tank is over 250 litre definately get it fitted off a competent engineer

25-30  is a very low reading for tap water mine being 250-300 make sure yours is correct if so alarge di canister will be fine to polish down to 000 (your sister must live in cormall or lake district !

[poles apart]

I've had an RO system for 7 years and it's still going!(ott now ionic) As for the size tank I'd get a 1000 litre now and the best poles you can. I did this and although I had too much capacity to start it's paid off in the long run as I've still got the same system, poles etc without needing to upgrade. It's very satisfying when it's all paid for and you don't need to buy anything else apart from consumables. Get the tank fitted professionally or you could be driving a death trap!
Hope all goes well

That data protection act? Do you install it between the tap and the storage tank or between the storage tank and the pump?

[Chris Cottrell]

You install it between yourself & Common sense
