Hello!
Just a quick question… I like to always have some RODI water on hand for emergencies and to make water changes faster. I always have it sitting at 0 TDS and check it before and after. When I went to do a water change today the RODI water which had sat for a few weeks was 41 TDS. So I...
I am at a loss with why my 8800 aquatech pump is not increasing the pressure. everything was fine untill I changed out my 2 RODI filters and 2 carbon filters. I did forget to flush the carbon filters so added a 3 way after the carbon filters to flush prior to getting to the RODI filters. After...
Hello! I just recently finished installing my RO buddie/ 4 stage RODI - I flushed the carbon, and membrane prior to use and everything is running well ( 0 TDS ) my only concern is the amount of waste water… I know that’s an odd thing to fuss about but hear me out… I recently replaced my old unit...
Hi Reef2Reef, I've got reef tanks that I've been running off of RODI water bought from my LFS for around 6 months now, and am really enjoying the hobby. I think I'm getting to the point of wanting to have RODI water on hand. The thing is, I don't really understand how many stages/what I need...
I live in NYC and the TDS has always been very low, around 30, but my pressure was never great. I wasn't using a booster pump so I would get maybe 40psi at the membrane and my 90gpd unit would make maybe only 50gpd, but I would go years without changing a single filter. About two months ago the...

Used for about a year for twice monthly water changes so still very new. Moving so I had to sell the tank. This is a great option for making your own water at home! Happy to answer any...
Hey all,
I've had a 7-stage RODI system sitting in my storage unit for around a year and a half. I'd replaced all of the filter cartridges pretty recently before putting it away, so I wanted to see if anyone had been in a similar situation. Would there be any issues using it after sitting for...
I would appreciate any inisght or guidance about this issue; I've been in the hobby for ~8 months, having down freshwater for a while before finally giving in. When I started out, I immedaitely went to making my own RODI, but I have been struggling as of late.
Issue: My BRS RODI system is...
So I live in Sweden and here, we do have really clean water that we drink. But I am really confused on if I should get a RODI system as we have really clean water and i've heard of some people here keeping corals without using one. I am new to the saltie hobby and just want to know if it's...
I have a 20 gallon reef tank with me at college. My dorm is an apartment style dorm with a bathroom and a kitchen that I share with my roommates.
So far, I've been buying all my salt and top off water from my LFS. This isn't very cost effective, and their alkalinity for their salt water is...
Hey all,
I just installed my first rodi system and am having issues.
I installed the system with no booster pump initially and was only getting about 40psi and still high tds. I added a booster pump to the system and now am somehow getting 30PSI.
While getting 30PSI the auto shut off valve...
3 weeks following Helene we finally have water again!! All the lines have been flushed, we’re under boil advisory, and there’s the potential of clay and other sediment although I think that’s more of a problem in the water supply the city over (which will eventually supply 25% of our water)...
I’m sure a similar question has probably been asked but as a newb to the saltwater world does anyone have container recommendations for holding my rodi water?? I just got my BRS 75gpd unit in the mail today and I see a lot of hobbyists use brute trash cans with float valves etc but I really...
Please great people of R2R, help me in under the differences in the various RODI stages?
What makes one better than the other?
Should I be looking for something in my tap water that would yell me what stage I would need.?
I am new to the hobby, don't even have a tank yet. But I am trying to get...
Hello All,
So my RODI system is a good Commercial 7 phase filtration system that does 300gpd. However, I just had my water tested and my Silicon & Copper are high in my RODI water test. My head is spinning from everything I've read online so I figured I'd try to come here and get a consensus on...
Hello all!
I purchased my first RODI unit a few months ago for my 40 gallon mixed reef. I am on well water in Illinois so I opted for the 5 stage. However, ever since then I have had a crazy diatom outbreak. I have lost a number of corals and the tank (including the surface!) is overrun with...
Stupid question most probably ,but when I flush my ro/di do I have to open the water also that supplier the rodi or it’s flushed thru the drain pipe ?>.< by the water that supplies ro/di I mean this tap in the pic. Because can’t hear any water flushing when I open the flush valve .

I have a brs 7 stage rodi unit along with a several other reactor/filter housings (all the same, standard 10 inch style housings). I ordered a bunch of replacement orings from brs and every single housing leaks now. Brs is working this on thier end but I’m curious if anyone has a source for...
Looking for personal experiences of reefers who started out using tap water in their system and then switched later to RODI. Curious what problems you had before that the RODI fixed, issues you had that were not fixed, or even changes you experienced with your parameters afterwards.
For me...
