I don't know about buying ro water anywhere.

If I'd had know what I know now with regards using ro water for trad work I'd have bought a really cheap ro system ages ago and before we went over to using wfp.

The difference between tap water and pure water for trad work is staggering. We still do a fair amount of trad work and a few weeks back we had to use tap water because we'd used all the ro water. It was a shock just how bad tap water is for window cleaning.

Try

for a good cheap system and go for the lowest amount of gallons per day.

There are also other companies offering good ro units at a good price but that is the company we use.

The whole lot can be done for under £130 and you don't need a pump to pressurise the system. Mains pressure can produce almost the same results in terms of water purity.

If you only won't to try it on a few houses then you could buy pure water from garages, but it can be expensive, £1.50 per litre, but it will give you some idea of the benefits of pure water over tap water.
