Hi All,

I'm just setting up a DIY kit in my van, got a 500L tank but insure what sized DI vessel to get.....any ideas?

Thanks

Need more infor buddy.
Do you have soft or hard water?  What tds is it?
Are you using DI only or a Reverse osmosis? Though the latter depends upon your tds

if you are not going to use an RO you would need at least a 25 lt  resin bottle but be prepared to change the resin often

Not thought about using RO to be honest, the systems seem quite cheap compared to a large vessel and resin.

Get a 20 odd litre you’ll get 3 fills out of a bag of resin,if your RO water is producing decent numbers you’ll get well over 5-6 months out of that bag for £80 + vat.

TDS readings are 56 so not too bad, I've got a ro system running at the minute but surprised how much waste water it produces !

Just use DI then...absolutely no need for an RO and all that faff with such a low tds.....I purify mine straight after work....it takes 25 mins to fill my 500l tank....I use a large 25l vessel...it lasts me around 4 -5 months before I need to change it(my tap tds is 22)....I go double DI when my vessel starts to creep up then go back to one when it gets near to my tap tds.....I dont keep my resin vessels in my van though.....

Are you on a water meter?if you are itll be better for you to be DI only I would of thought?

2 x 11ltr vessels would be my choice.

Typical lol I bought a RO system, been in for nearly 5 hours and not even filled 5% of my tank ! I'll get a double DI setup then.

Another question, new tank, new reels, new pole, new pump, my ro is throwing 0 tds into my tank but I'm getting 7 tds at my pole.....do they normally need flushing?

I know nothing about RO systems as I've never needed one.......if you start a new thread specifically about your RO then others window cleaners will be able to help you out mate...👍
