QUESTION
Needed information on setting up desalination units

Hi,

I want to know if water with TDS 1000 ppm be desalinated and used for drinking? If so what is the smallest size unit that needs to be setup (1000 lt per hour or less than that). What would be the capital cost, operating cost and total cost of potable water/m3.

I would also like to know if there are solar desalination units available which can produce 1000ltr/hr. Please advice.
