It depends how much water you use.

This calculator may give you a rough idea.

thanks smurf that is helpfull

how much water would a typical 3 bed semi use? just as an estimate

I would ideally start with just a D.I and a trolley until i build my round up.


do d.i vessels require mains pressure for them to work or can i gravity feed the di from my 250l tank on my van into smaller barrels for the trolley?

What size di vessel?
Gravity feed will be painfully slow, be better off mains fed straight into the tank.

Ok cheers. I have a 250l tank on my van for valeting but i dont want to fill that with pure water and waste it on cars

Looks like cost wont be that bad D.I only, i have plenty of 19l barrels i can use for now, i think i will make a diy trolley system as i have an old fishing trolley and a few old fishing poles i can make a wfp out of to get me started

cheers
