Simply Koi and More Koi

that massive eh!
the reason i ask is i will shortly be getting the same unit that Gazza is using and i'm also on a meter,so i would like to know how massive the row is going to be when the wife sees the bill .

hi Gazza
how massive is massive?just massive or really MAAAAAAASSIVE?
cheers Dave.

hi chi many thanks for the help and advice. i am thinking of ordering the unit from r/o man tomorrow,so i will speak to him about it also.once i reach my target water with the r/o system it maybe that using the water on a auto top up system using one of the auto shut of valves that r/o man supplies ...

hi gazza,chita
out of interest what was the total cost of the R/O units you both use?
what are your tds readings at the min?,how much water a day are you both changing to maintain these tds readings?
cheers Dave.
