Simply Koi and More Koi

The flow restrictor is the 450 one. Not sure on the tap, whatever it normally is this time of year Im not sure will test tonight for you. Am doing further tests as between myself an alan we need to work out whether to run 4 or 5 membranes, with or without pump. As I dont want to push the efficiency ...

Good to see you today Ben although on your own......

Not you as well

Ok so having set it all up yesterday on my return tonight managed to do all the leak checks and a quick test. The results with only 4 membranes in series with hopefully another to be added to further improve the situation were: Product: 1200lpd, 263ukgpd, 317usgpd, 10TDS Waste: 490 lpd, 107ukgpd, 12...

Heres my system: PRE-FILTRATION Household water softener - 5 Micron sediment - large blue carbon cyclinder - 20" 1 micron sediment (important to completely protect membranes) RO BOARD: Low pressure switch (turns pump on when feels pressure (protects pump from running dry)) - 80psi booster pump ...

Auto flush for 4 times per hour??? Gosh I thought I was doing well with a timer with 20flushes/day.

Got mine running tonight to test, very pleased with results

Yes agree and thats no sale 100quid is the proper price. Gotta say the material dont look right at all as the holes are much smaller and not sure itsas porous at all. If it were 50quid or less than may be worth a go but for 100quid may as well spend 40 more and get the proper stuff. Was it sold as M...

Sorry thats temp

Recent koinations article very good on Micheal Cox's setup!

5 100gpd in series which he was getting upto 80% efficeincy!!

Note to do this many may require a watersoftener
Although he does have 25 source water

Two BD'S (aerated), one skimmer, ideally two but can compromise to save cost and running cost. One (or two) skimmer to Bakki shower(s) via sequence 18000 If possible have skimmer(s) gravity fed to sieve. BD's: two options. If limited on space; each to ultra sieve then bead (eco versions) If not limi...

Thanks Bob thats a really good idea. Would you say given the application it would be better (more flow for same watts) than an eco 8000. Would be really interested to hear anyone who has one.

More refering to whether the pump will be able to cope to being put through a heater. Do you have one??

Remember alot of discussion about these pumps following the SE show in 2008. Was just wondering if anyone bought any and how they found them: reliable, output as much as stated, electricity usage same as promised. I am thinking of the Lifetech Flow pump HP12000 HP12000 flows 12000lt at a consumption...

I would really think about the actual cost before going down the route of one of the conventional beads. I think all would agree they work very well and are easy to clean, and take up less space. But as Bob says its the cost. So if money no object then great. Just to tell you my experience i was run...
