I have a 1000lt. static system to supply a growing number of residential sub-contractors, but geography is an issue, so I want to start supply systems just big enough to supply operatives to work from home.
I haven't visited this forum for a while. I was looking for the website details for that DIY system. I think 'Matt' was responsible for it.
My perfect kit for a one man band is an 18ft. pole & a Sureflow Back Pack, plus a bunch of jerry cans. No simpler or cheaper way to get started, but I haven't as yet sussed what is best for water generation at home. 200 lts. a day is ample. Which RO, DI, water butt, cut off switch, meter read out etc.?. Also what budget do we think?
Cheers.

This RO/DI unit makes 50 Gallons (over 200 litres) per day for £75.00 (probably plus vat and P & P):

A hand held TDS meter is cheap.  Around £13 if I remember correctly.

A 200 litre water butt will cost around £40.00

Water barrells from Cleantech are around £5.00 each (probably need about six to eight).

Ten pounds worth of wood will build a platform to stand the water butt on and if it's situated outside, it doesn't matter if it overflows; therefore you won't need any sort of cut-off switch.

Screw-fix supply outside tap fittings for around £15 that are so simple to install; even I could do it.

I reckon you could do it for around £200.00!
