If weight wasn't such a deciding factor how much water would you carry for the day?

I have recently fitted a water meter to my tank outlet to check my usage and I use between 200 & 500 litres per day...so for me a 650l is just right for those special days where I need that little extra.

I started with a 250litre tank and would not advise one that small unless you do not do a lot of wfp.

Cheers
Dave.

500l for two peeps doing domestic?  I don't think so.  What rate of flow is that?

About 1.5 litres per minute.

We have a 500 litre tank in the vehicle that does all of our domestic rounds with two operators. Only occasionally do we use it all up, on Wednesday we came home with about 150 litres still left.

For our commercial work we use between 500 litres and 850 litres per day for two operators. The question was what tanks would you go for if you started again. My answer was based on our exact current usage.

used to have tucker 700 ltr for 2 now have 400 ltr for 2 run out at 3 ish but back to unit refill only takes 3 mins quick transfer pumps and water thats already produced from static system.

Why ? because the rest of the space in the vehicle carrys the carpet/upholstery/ patio/decking equipment

dont want to be over payload now do we  ;)

As much as I could produce in 1 night.
I carry 800L at the moment, which is fine really
