Possible group buy - DI Vessel

Yes, that 2 hours work a day takes it out of you >:D

Still can't believe that water reading of yours, your tea and coffee must be quite "muddy"

)

You can start a group buy for the resin for yourself only ...

What reading do you get from the vessel output?

Oi! It's 5 hours a day now, thank you....... >:(

All drinking water is filtered anyway so that isn't a problem. We do have lime-scale problems with the heating (dosed annually with Fernox) and other things like washing machines and now I know why!! Good thing Mrs X5Sport uses these anti-scale tabs!

Haven't yet tried the DIV yet as I have just rigged up a particle filter to sit between the Karcher Pump and the DI vessel. I think I will be running off the water butt for now as the water is kept much cleaner with the pour in treatment that can be bought, and at 40ppm and so much water...err....'falling' at present it's an easy choice.

The Karcher 3800 does have a simple foam filter and I also have the Karcher addon one for the front of the K6.800 PW (it might also fit a number of the recent/current models too I think?) which I have now added a Hozelock 2289 adapter to so that it makes a very cheap in line particle filter with a male Hozelock at each end.

The only in-line particulate filters I have come across are silly money and hence my wanting to rig something much simpler up. OK it won't go down to sub-micron level, but it should keep anything else out of the resin.

I did have a look at Anglian Water's website and it seems this area is amongst the hardest water supply areas they serve.

Have connected the black beast up to the mains water supply today to see what it can do. I'm VERY impressed.

Water Main pre-DI Vessel input....TDS = 500ppm +/- 10ppm

DI Vessel Output.......TDS = 1ppm.

It took almost a minute to change from 0 to 1, but that really is a result. Now just need a long enough dry spell to use it in anger.

Raj, pvr.... :bigthanx: :bigthanx:

I used mine tonight but didn't take a reading.

Will be interesting to see the 'lack of' water stains tomorrow morning.

As has been said, thanks Raj!

It will be the boot and near the joints where the stains will be if you have not rinsed enough "clean" water through there.

Mistakes I made in the beginning when I was an innocent beginner, like you lot
