Filtering from water tap
« on: July 30, 2024, 01:10:54 pm »
I put new filter systems on the  system and a new vessel the water goes through finally before filling your tank.
I seem to be on a slower water system we bought on the brand new estate, it just  a slow trickle when filling in the water tanks, the vessel in just over 3/4 full but the speed of purifying the water is quite slow.
Is there any way of trying to speed it up a bit?
Cheers Rich

check the stop cocks are fully open - are you coming off a proper pipe/spur or one of those tap things that put a hole in your pipe - if so its too small or a bit of pipe is blocking it.

failing that you may suffer poor water pressure at this address/ the water board has reduced pressure due to the dry spell

It’s a separate pipe coming from outside tap outside the kitchen, to the water tanks via filter system and  vessel  in the garage . The distance between filter system and tap is a little over 6feet.

I live in a new build pressure from my outside tap also outside kitchen is rubbish I was told the pressure to the house is reduced due to a pressurised water system fitted in the house.
I dug down to the mains in my front lawn ( prior to water getting to house ) I then fitted a tap to my garage water pressure is great I can fill a bucket in seconds,this is the best pressure I’ve ever had,my 4040 van mounted system fills quite quickly

Couldn't do that  without getting the water company in next county and doing the job ,which would cost a fortune. I could move the tanks outside next to the tap which means it would go in quicker, but would need to put back in the garage at the start of winter.

Some outside taps are fitted with that screw quick fit that cuts hole into copper pipe. I have had to refit a new tap because the pressure is terrible.

What  r/o do you have?
What is your water pressure?
How many litres of water do you get out of your tap in a minute with the tap fully open?

These are so questions you need to answer before anyone can help you.

I have a 4040.
My water pressure is 50 to 55psi.
Water flow from the back garden tap is 13lpm.

A booster pump will help if pressure is low

Just come back from holiday abroad, that’s why I haven’t reply before today.
I can’t remember exactly but the water pressure from tap is up to 200 before it gets filtered, after it’s filtered the ro  is 000

Sorry thought you were heeding faster flow out of the RO ? What’s the water pressure?

Cant quite remember but I think it was getting on for a bit less than 200 or a bit less, that’s direct from tap, before it gets filtered.. My old  water vessel was refitted slightly wrong and leaked from the lip of the valve, but the new one I have  has a higher water and  filter cleaner , can’t remember  what it’s  size in but it does run slowly.
I can’t decide wether or not to fill in a filter system next to the tap and see if it goes through a  bit quicker than the longer pipe , if it does, then I need to get a new garden cabinet to fit the two garden barrels I use to store water for the van tank.
