Are there any suport sections for hard up pensioner's on life support eqipment?


I am on a dialasys machine at home which is on tank water so can you help me with funding to find a way to save all the water as possible as when on the dialasys m/c it takes about (600 ltrs.) for an eight hour run five nights per week.It would benefit all other home dialasys patients as well as I am using a water conditioner in the water line to soften the water and then you would then use less water for the garden,lawn and make the wives happy as it assists with the clothes washing as well and as I have already found it prolongs the life of the main large carbom filter as well as the next filter and the dust filter as well as looking after the reverse osmosis m/cs. transmembrain & pump etc.

Good question.... I'll have to look that up.

Here are a few resources:
