Victoria's water supply
« on: May 22, 2011, 09:32:39 AM »
In the past 10 years, Victoria has experienced several water crises, higher temperatures and to save a low rainfall. Accordingly there was a significant reduction in the availability of water.

In order to improve the water supply in Victoria, the government announced the our water, our plan for the future in June 2007. The sea-water plant Wonthaggi desalination by reverse osmosis is intended as a long-term solution to Melbourne to secure the water supply.

RO water is not easy or cheap, but I know of several places that use RO water for their primary source.  With increasing population and pollutants in our water, RO maybe the way we all get clean water in the future.  That being said, once you have a tank full of nice clean RO water, a CSV controlled pump system can deliver it at a constant pressure to your house or to an entire city.  Using a CSV with a very small pressure tank is the best way to deliver RO water, because it keeps the water from sitting in a big pressure tank or water tower getting contaminated again before it gets to your faucet.

A CSV controlled pump system also works great to supply raw water TO the RO system itself.
