Stephen just buy a system from ro man.(RO-man.com).
Its all ready to just plug in and use.(almost)

first off all work out how much water you need per day

then look at RO-man or adwats and choose a ready made system

100 Gall or 200 gall etc etc

How do you know how many 'gallons per day system' you will need? Do you just store it then use it and when it's empty refill?

Silly question I know but WFP's don't use anything like that amount so would a system that does less gallons per day be cheaper but you use it more?

Cheers

We use about 400 ltr per day on a full days run, only got a 250 ltr tank so need to fill up during the day, just use DI unit to do this at the moment.

Ideally I want a RO unit in the van that can be refilled or partly refilled whilst we have a break for lunch or whatever.  then filled properly at night when we get home.

I do not fancy the idea of a big 1000 ltr vessel sat in my back garden or garage.  This is why I like the idea of the Merlin or Rhombus systems

I was alsways taught that when you buy something buy a little bigger than you need, the thinking behind this is simple.
Buy an item that just meets your needs and it wil have to work constantly to meet your needs, and if the day comes when you need it to do more you will have to upgrade.
Buy an item a little larger than you need and it will not have to work flat out all the time to keep up and you also have the scope to grow without upgrading.

When I first started to use WFp I calculated that I would only need about 100 to 150 Ltrs a day, but Andrews water conviced me to go for a system that would produce 250 ltrs a day, within 6 months I was using about 200 ltrs a day, after 12 months I was up to 250 a day and having to keep my Ro working over the weekend to build my supply back up.After a further 18 months of pushing my RO to the limits and getting worried towards the end of the week that my water supply would not last I upgraded to a Merlin.
I now have plenty of water, this in turn means that I can use more daily thus enabling me to give the windows a better rinse with more water, I am now actively looking for more work because I know I now have enough water to cope.
So I would advise any one looking at RO's go for the biggest you can afford, Grow into the system not out of it

its very easy just to add another RO unit though, to add to your output

i use 100 - 150 a day and this is going some (i only work 3 days a week so put 100% into my days )


i allways see people oversold on the old RO, see people sold 500 gals and they use only half that, seemsa waste to me, as the upgrage is fairly simple and you dont waste your exsistng stuff

yes the merlin is mighty fast, especailly the unit from Andrews water that has a 1 - 1 ratio , impressive
