rodi help

Hoping you can help out a newbie, I am setting up my first tank and bought a 200 GPD RODI from BRS. When I set it up I noted that outflow was low and that my waste ratio was horrible. The pressure gauge on the RODI unit was showing about 30 PSI, which I understand to be low for RODI function, so...

Hey friends, Brand New to the hobby. Yes I already love it! Before I started I had a RO system in my home. This is what I currently have. Do I need to purchase one of those other RODI systems? It sure seems like what I currently have has everything sediment, carbon, post filter and membrane...

Hi looking for some help with troubleshooting RODI pressure. I’ve recently replaced all filter thinking this was the issue but I’m still getting close to 0 psi on gauge when making new water. The pressure gauge (glycerin type from BRS) is installed between last carbon stage and the entry into...

Hello, I am new hear, and I've used this forum to get up to speed. I recently made a mistake when mixing salt water... having some RODI waste water enter into the mix for just about a minute. I'm wondering if i've contaminated my batch of saltwater. I use a 40 gallon brute can to mix my...

I am looking into mixing my own salt as my LFS store only offers TMC salt and it doesn't allow me to boost my KH or PH via the salt mix, so im thinking of moving to the red sea mix, however, I dont have a RODI unit and even if I do I would need to us it outside on a hosepipe and its winter right...

Hello! This is my first post and my first reef tank. my tank is 2-3 months old and I have diatoms all over the tank sand. When I siphoned it during my last WC, it came right back. Most likely it’s just the ugly phase however I’m wondering if there’s any possibility it could be my water. The...

Hey everyone, I am hoping that one of you has experienced something similar and can give me some clarification. I am looking at getting an RO/DI filter to start making my own water, those trips to and from the fish store are getting old already. My only concern is that I have well water at my...

Hey guys, I picked up a new RO unit a week ago and got a separate DI canister and hooked it up. I haven't been able to get 0 TDS, after RO is 2 TDS and after DI still 2 TDS. Am I missing something? Tap water is 70 TDS. I picked up all the equipment from a LFS.

Okay. I’m super confused. I have a BRS 4 stage plus unit. I stopped reefing for a bit and now I’m back into it. Setting it up. I have my blue line going to my brute can leaving the last section of the unit. My red line is the supply connecting to the entrance or first stage of the unit. The...

I’ve had the 4 stage RODI system for well over a year now. Before I changed the media the TDS was reading 1 in and 0 out. After I changed it out for all 3 stages of new media it now reads 2 in and 2 out. Why is this? I tried flushing out the membrane for 10 minutes with no change. I changed the...

There are always a lot of questions regarding which RO/DI setup do I need, how many stages, how do I know when to change filters/membranes, I’m getting a weird TDS value, etc. Hopefully this clarifies a few things and helps some of you out one day. My first recommendation would be to find the...

I've got the Aquatec booster pump and it doesn't change my psi at all. I've got it hooked up after the 3rd canister or 2 carbon block, before my membranes. Is my pressure gauge off? My psi without Is 65psi. When I turn on the pump, it's doesn't move the needle, lots of shaking though. I turn...

I have an RODI system but the only faucet I can attach it to is the outdoor hose and with winter coming I will no longer be able to use it. I’m wondering if it’s possible to fill a water reservoir and use a pump to push the water through the RODI unit. I could maybe buy one with adjustable gph...

Hi everyone. I am considering buying a RODI unit. The "RO buddie + DI" is fairly affordable and it suits my needs. So here are my questions to those who have experience with this unit: 1) How was your overall experience with it? 2) If I want to replace the carbon, sediment filter, cartridge, or...

So I'm looking to setup my own water mixing station in my garage, rather than use a garden hose for water I was hoping to maybe connect up to my water line I believe goes into my water softener. I'm no plumber and didn't install this but from my understanding is the softener has one main water...
