source needed:- backwashing valves and fibreglass pressurevessels....
 
.....for domestic private water supply filtration.

Like these units:-

Looking to assemble my own and hopefully cut down on the costs...

Anyone have any experiences??

Thanks

Those pressure vessels look just like the ones used on commercial
water softeners - water softeners also use backwash valves so that may
be a source.

thanks for reply

I had thought of the water softener approach (honest!)
however after months of observing it seems the ones that come up on
Ebay etc are a) smaller than I'd want, b) have a 5 port valvehead as
they regenerate with salt etc (I believe I need 3 ports - for a
straight backwash unit) and c) well, they are off Ebay so who really
knows what you'd get!! :)
