October 15, 20197 yr when I wasn,t really looking for such a thing i came across one ,which looked like an american fridge ,it had reverse osmosis and Uv and filters+ booster pump ,etc etc with computer control alarms etc now i might need one can I find it again --of course not any clues anybody i know it can all be done with separate units ,but i liked the idea of it all being in one unit, so i could fit it in the services room and also an accumulator+ pump + 270 litre capacity of treated water as well
October 17, 20197 yr Author I found it in the end -- so i post it up others may need something like this https://www.freeflush.co.uk/collections/drinking-water-filters/products/hydroinfinity-integrated-drinking-water-treatment-console
October 17, 20197 yr A bit pricey but looks good kit, we don’t all have @JSHarris knowledge and ability to build our own.

October 17, 20197 yr I do like the idea of a small self contained unit. Could also be used with river/pond/lake or borehole water I suppose. I have plenty of rain water at the moment.

October 17, 20197 yr Not at all hard to build, TBH. The main problem is finding reliable parts, I found.
October 17, 20197 yr Author nobody said it was difficult --its just a very simple total solution you make your own choice just a suggestion ,which like most get slagged -just because
October 17, 20197 yr Wasn’t slagging off any - just suggested the search term you use ... And that they aren’t difficult to build ....
October 17, 20197 yr Very common in India and Asia, even little desktop units. I expect a bit pricey in Blighty as generally our tap water is top notch (compared to elsewhere in the world). Although i I have to say the best tap water was in Reykjavik, lovely glacier water, perfectly chilled straight from the tap.

I was only just reading of the high levels of isotopes such as chlorine-36 found in Antarctica caused by fallout from US nuclear tests in the Pacific 70 years ago... ?

Stands to reason then, Reykjavik is about as far from the Antarctic as you can get and still have running tap water. Poor old Spain on the other hand ... ?

There's no WRAS markings so I assume not, I assume if you have that then being mains connected is basically illegal, but would be interesting to confirm?
October 18, 20197 yr It’s not WRAS approved and never could be as there is no class one air gap between the incoming rainwater and the outgoing “clean” water. It’s also designed by marketing not engineers as the bottom 10” filter housing can’t be removed as it’s too close to the bottom of the casing .... For double the price of that, you can get something like a Osmosea Classic CL300, which can do 300 litres an hour from basically any watercourse / water source and is a full reverse osmosis system. Coupled to a big tank, it would basically provide everything you need, just put a big filter pack on the front and suck the contents of the quarry up ...
