rodi

Does anyone still use a water conditioner like seachem prime in their RODI water? I’ve been using at a safety i case RODI doesn’t do a good job. Curious if I am causing more harm than good trying to be perfect. Appreciate anyones thoughts.

So I have a mystery I cannot explain with RODI (BRS unit). My source water is less than or around 300 TDS, and the RO membrane (99% rejection rated dow) takes it down to around 6-8 before going into DI resin. After DI resin it comes down to 1 TDS. The process ate up DI resin fast compared to...

So in a continued effort to understand what's in my City Water and what poses a potential risk and would need to be filtered and treated for a tank (Fish Only With Inverts), I found my local plant water quality report, and am curious from others who have more knowledge than me, how good (or bad)...

Looking for unused RODI systems. Sipped to 29607.

I only just got a TDS meter after making about 150-200 Gallons of RO Water with the “Aquatic Life RO Buddie Three Stage Reverse Osmosis, 100-Gallon”. My tap water is reading 70ppm on the TDS and my RO is reading 4ppm. I know 0 is ideal, but does 4 mean I’ve burnt through the filters already...

I was tired of lugging buckets of water back and forth and/or pulling out long tubing when I needed to get new water, so I ran it through the wall/attic using some PEX tubing and push connect fittings on the wall where it terminates. Also looking into adding a flow sensor to check for any leaks...

For my 25 gallon nano tank, I will have a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket to hold RODI water to feed my auto top off system. I’m using the Smart Nano ATO system, which uses a 1/4” tube to feed the pump. Do I need to bother with a bulkhead for the tube running into the bucket, or can I just punch a...

I have close to a couple hundred pounds of dry rock, half being Marco rock from BRS, another half being old fiji and pukani rock that’s been dry for years. I’m going to be aquascaping my 310g build in a couple weeks and want to give a quick rinse to the dry rock before going in the tank to...

My 65g rodi container just in the past month has started to smell a little funky whenever I go to fill up a bucket of rodi water. Kind of a fishy smell is how I’d describe it. Figure it’s time to empty it out and give it a cleaning. How do you guys clean yours? Take a pressure washer to it...

I’m looking into making a saltwater mixing station, with an RODI filter hooked into my houses freshwater supply. Fortunately, there is a copper pipe already T’d off of the cold, freshwater supply, running to my backyard hose. And it’s in the perfect area for me to make the mixing station in. In...

Hello everyone, I have a very interesting problem related to my RO filter. It has been going on for almost a year. Lots of troubleshooting has already gone into it last year. Talked to multiple vendors, tried different proposed solutions. But the problem keeps coming back. Problem: Any new...

Hi all! I have been in water purification for many years and I have always wanted to venture into saltwater. I have been not only helping a local fish store but also taking care of the tank at my workplace recently along with troubleshooting RODI for many years, I feel that now is the time to...

Hey all, I have a 200G salt water mixing station still at my place after a tank tear down. It's worked great with a Panworld mixing pump (included), and side-by-side US Plastics 100G holding tanks. I have a float valve on the fresh water side leading back to a BRS 7 stage unit (all media...

In my never ending quest to gather as much information as I can BEFORE I start my tank, I have a question about premixing saltwater for water changes. I know that regular water changing is very important for keeping a health reef aquarium. Having premixed, ready to go, saltwater will make that...

Hi guys! I know the title sounds ridiculous, why would you run a uv sterilizer on a mixing station? Long story short my step dad has had some health issues in the past which had led him to using a CPAP machine. With a CPAP machine you need to use distilled water due to the fact that it has no...

Does anyone have actual evidenced backed input on the most efficient way to run a five-stage RODI unit? Is it better to run in small, frequent batches (example: 1 hour per day, 7 days per week), or occasional longer sessions (example: 7 hours once per week)? I'm thinking mainly from a DI...

I’ve used plastic gallons of distilled water ever since I got my tank (2018). The price for 1 gallon of distilled water just went up 57% at the grocery store. Figured it makes more sense than ever to get one. Plus it’ll help reduce the use of plastic. Inflation..whew it’s hitting hard.

Preface: I know float valves can fail and shouldn’t be completely relied upon. However in the years since I started reefing my old containers and floats never had an issue; I always felt comfortable trusting them overnight at least. This new setup though…. I can’t figure out why my RODI...
