Andy this is the one I got RO unit

You can always add another membrane and chamber on top of it if you find you want more RO per day and less waste :D

I notice on the right up of this is does not state that it treats Chloramine, does this get taken out by the RO membrane? The reason I ask is that my HMA filters do not state Chloramine removel but my lfs says it does but have not updated the label. I'm not sure whether I believe them or not. do you still ever add Prime now that you are using RO/HMA?

The filters I got supplied with it and subsequent replacements do treat chloramine. I used to add de-chlorinator when I first started using it but I don't now.

Looks like this is my final choice of RO filter http://www.arkpetsonline.co.uk/tmc-v2-pure-50-advanced-ro-system-p-4367.html

I liked the look of it on Ebay but it was £119.99:eek:hmy: But then I spotted it at Arkpetsonline for £97.80 with free next day delivery aswell:woohoo: Thats a saving of £22.
Well I thought I would get next day delivery. :wb: :wb:
It turns out although their system said 4 in stock they did not have any, so I waited for them to go to their supplier who also had none. Then they told me they would get some in the next week but still did not. :wb:
I then decided to upgrade to the 75 Gallon unit as they have 9 in stock according to their system! Guess what they didn't have them either! :wb:
Then they told me that they had one at another branch and would send their delivery vehicle in to collect it for me, which they have now done and fingers crossed I will get it on Friday. So what was supposed to be next day delivery hopefully will only take 2 weeks.:wb::wb:

Finally the RO filter turned up yesterday (Friday) and is now installed.

Just need to fit the auto shut off valve when I get my one way valve next week and will be finished.

I have a working pressure of 3.5 Bar (50 Psi) is that enough or would I benefit from a booster pump?

I plan to fill the RO tank (plastic tub top left) and drain 50Ltrs from that into the 100L water butt below and then top up with HMA.

Then as normal pump that into the tanks via the pump in the water butt.
