could someone please tell me roughly how long it would take to fill a 25 liter barrel using a di vessel connected straight to the tap-at the minute it takes me over an hour using an r/o and i was wondering if i had a vessel could i do quick refills at peoples houses while working-thanks

[macmac]

Around 5 mins approx & yes you could refill from custy's taps.

thanks tony,think ill get it tomorrow-two more questions mate does the water come out the other side through a hose and do you think £115 for a 11 litre filled is a reasonable price-cheers

[macmac]

Both the in & out on top of a DI vessel have hozlok type male fittings so you connect your own piece of hose just like any garden watering equipment.
The price seems reasonable if it includes vat & delivery. the resin inside an 11ltr vessel is worth approx 25 quid.

Don't run water through a DI vessel at full mains pressure. imagine your first pee after 3 pints, a wee bit faster than that.

you can get a reconditioned vessel from cleantech for about £45

I dont doubt that your correct MacMac , but why?

[jouk45]

if you are using an outside tap with screw connection, full pressure is ok to run through the vessel,
but if you are using a customers sink tap, with a hoselok type , sink connector keep it low as the back pressure, will force water out the seals. or will damage it,

If water is run through a di vessel too fast it can't purify it quick enough resulting in water which doesn't read 000ppm. that's all.

my tds from thetap reads 030,could any one tell how many ltrs of water i would get from a di vessel without having to change resin 

[Andrews_Water]

Hi,

To calculate what volume of purified water 25 litres of virgin mixed bed resin will produce, use the following formula.

500,000/TDS of water to be purified = litres purified. 

In your case, with tap water at 30ppm TDS, you should get about 500,000/30 = 16,667 litres from a 25 Litre DI vessel.

Hope this helps, Andrew
