First things first is that you need to collect your water, with a suitable rain water butt. Make sure its large enough to collect an adequate supply of water.
I'm going to run through a typical garage setup:
1st Stage:
- Now place this water butt on an elevated position, either make a stand for it, or have it on an elevated platform outside. This is important because you will recycle the waste water produced from your RO.
- Simply connect your hose pipe to your water supply, make sure you run the RO output tubing into the water butt. Depending on what output your RO is, you could find your water butt filling up in no time, so either downgrade to a lower output or make an overflow sytem by connecting up to a second water butt.
- If you haven't already buy a TDS meter, to make sure your water is pure enough to clean with.
- Buy your water containers for transporting the water. 4-6 containters should be enough
- Buy a sack truck and get it welded for carrying the containers, so you can fit 2 containers on it.
- Then you need two buy two essential components a pump box , like the one available from Cleantech, which is around $500 and a power supply, something that can last you all.
- For the poles, I'd recommend either Unger extendable poles. Go for the 3X3 sections extendable for up to 31', takes you up to 3 storey work if your round has higher windows. And go for something like the Vikan Brush. Also buy the unger cranked joints (metal) for supporting the pole sections. Or you may want to consider other telescopic poles, such as the ones from Varitech, omnipole or Gardiner
- Get the necessary fixtures and fittings. I'd recommend Hozelock pipes and connectors.
Of course there are different permutations and combinations you might like to try. It's up to you what you eventually go for. But as long as it's practical and enables better mobility then it's doing the job right!
