I've no experience with using an RO but inevitably I need to get one as my tap tds is now 213. It's a big shock coming from 025 tds in my flat. I only changed a 25L resin vessel 2 weeks ago and it's already creeping up and this is despite having another vessel behind the fresh one...

1. I have an outside tap with good water pressure

2. I'm NOT on a water meter

3. I have drainage

Ideally I want a portable 'plug and play' system on wheels.

Do you think I'll not need resin at all if I get a decent RO?

Thanks in advance guys

Hi daz this is my opinion and this is what I would do in your situation,some will agree others will disagree.

My tds is 270 ish for the last sixteen years I’ve had a  van mounted purefreedom  system 40 inch ro and two 20 inch filters one being a 5 micron sediment filter the other being a 5 micron carbon filter and a 9 inch resin bottle (not the same system as I’ve renewed the system each time I replace the van approx 3 to 5 years )
I change my filters and resin when my tds rises to about 10 which normally happens about every three months and has done for many years and the 40 inch ro used to last about a year but for some reason over the last three years with the same tds reading my ro has lasted three years and my tds stays at 0 for at leat four months this meaning three sets of filters from finer filters @ £35 per year  three nine litre bottles of resin per year and one 40 inch ro every three years  my current ro came from purefreedom before they got in bed with the new company.
What I would say is don’t mess about with trolleys and other stuff,if your putting in a good shift each day and earning good money just go with the above van mounted system you won’t regret it and it will pay dividends and it will look after itself with a small amount of maintenance,that’s what’s worked for me with a tds of 270 over sixteen years
And the above results are from a tap pressure of 60 psi no booster pump

Thanks for that Colin. The one I'm getting is exactly the same as yours but not van mounted( it's mounted on a frame instead) from Pure Freedom. No room in my van for a van mounted RO.👍

Ok daz that sounds good to me

If I could give one bit of advice, It’s go big.

For the extra few hundred quid it’s worth the convenience of having a fast producing RO.

I’ve went from a 350gpd, to a 4021, and now a 4040.

I wish I’d just bought a 4040 10 years ago.

I'm gonna get the same one as Danny's got from Pure Freedom. I need one that gets the job done fast and lasts a long time. 👍🙂

Pretty sure it comes with instructions but it’s really easy. Plug in your water supply with standard garden hose fitting and turn tap on. Direct the waste down a drain. There’s a switch to change the waste ratio, can’t even remember the settings as I havnt touched it in 6 years.

One thing you will need to do is work out your water pressure to see if it’s a HF4 or HF5 that you need. Pure freedom will talk you through this if needed.

More than welcome to come and have a look at mine before you make the purchase, you probably pass my house on the way to your village work everyday.
