Water Filtration / Reverse Osmosis / RO Affiliate

[johnrm]

I have for the past age been plagued with Hard Water.
At every house move, the water gets harder and harder.
Currently I am at 277mg/l.

Apart from the fact that some additives can be hard to get, my preference is to clean up my Liquor rather than compound it. Boiling is too much hard work and cost.

Water2buy supply non-pumped RO for EUR230, pumped RO for EUR366.

I have emailed them to see if they are interested in becoming an affiliate to hopefully attract a discount on their already quite keen pricing.

If anyone has interest in this, please have a look at their website and register your no-obligation interest here; Forum name, and Filtration preference.

Assuming we're comparing apples with apples, the aquaeuro represents excellent value.

I was looking at 5 stage RO
Tank and pump versions seem to be best value with these guys.
Right now this is on hold though, my housing situation may be changing again.

These things are easy to move John, if you're keen to buy  but moving house

Easy to move? were you caught by predictive Lars? 
Keen, but this thing has popped up and a decision is imminent so I'm going to sit tight for the mo.

Canny post up some system costs and specs please?

Hi Lars

Sorry for the inconvience but we are currently udating our website. The company was established in 1990 which you can check at the CRO web site. Just type in Water Shop. I tried to post some information but unfortunatly all the files are to big. As a guide price i could offer a 5 stage pumped RO for €300.00 and a full set of replacement cartridges for €75.00. All prices are exclusive of postage and packing. My email address is info@thewatershop.ie Please email me if you require any furhter information.

Thanks watershop, I have a system but it'll need filters soon.€75 seems reasonable if my memory serves me right so ill definitely consider you guys. As a matter if interest, what's the realistic throughput of that pumped 5 stage system with say a 2bar delivery pressure?(my non pumped 5stage  system is soooo slow)
Also, what sort of reduction are you offering to members of the Nhc?

Thanks

It is not uncommon with reverse osmosis system to produce the water very slowly when the water pressure is below 60psi (4 Bar). This is why a pumped system is a much better option. The pumps are generally 12v -24v  and a good RO pump should produce a pressure of between 60 -100psi (4 - 6 Bar). The membranes are rated 50GPG, 70GPD, 100GPD. This means that the mambrane is capable of producing theses amounts of water in 24Hrs. Bear in mind that GPD stands for Gallons per day and these are US GPD. This means a pumped system with a 50GPD membrane @ 60psi (4 bar) pressure should produce 2.08US Gallons/Hr (7.87 litres/hour). Hope this helps?

I've been looking into this recently as our water is hard as Chuck Norris and keeps breaking kettles and steam sterilizers.

The first link seems to be the best value at the moment at €210 for the pumped version:

Did you get one in the end John?

Edit:
I phoned them up and they said it will remove pretty much everything from the water apart from bacteria (important if you have a well).
The tank is 2.5 gallons and takes about 45 minutes to fill completely.
They have 2 delivery methods, free (next day) and €7.50 (about 3 days).

Time to convince M'lady that we NEEED to get an RO filtration system. Once I find out how much waste water it actually produces.
Guy on the phone said 1 gallon waste to filter 4 gallons water, but that can't be true.

[johnrm]

No water charges up your way then?
My concern with these is they dump a lot of 'waste' water.
Maybe the one I picked up for free is just crap. :O
