    Best RODI maintenance?

    What RO systems do yall use and what's your average ppm? Recently, I've been using the Puratek 150GPD Deluxe for about 3-4months, and have noticed my ppm has gone from 0-8 very steadily. I havent noticed any changes in my tank(s) and I figured 8ppm was too little of most things to seriously...

    Anion without cation????

    So I have a local friend that runs cation, then anion, then two mixed bed resins (all color changing). He almost never runs out of cation but does run through anion. Being that I’m using the same city water supply, is there a reason that I can just skip the cation and run two anions instead? I’m...

My first recommendation would be to find the...

    RODI Not Putting Out 0 TDS

    I've been struggling with red cyano again; and my corals haven't been happy for about a month. The issue I found is that my RODI membrane is putting our 36 TDS and the DI resin is only polishing it down to 8 TDS. I'm not sure how I missed this. So I've been cleaning out the cyano with water...

    BRS Mixed Bed Di Resign/Anion Di Resign

    Hello All, How can you tell when it is time to change out the resign media in the BRS Mixed Bed Di Resign/Cation Di Resign canisters? My Anion Di Resign canister (middle canister) is easy to tell as it changes to orange as its depleted. The other two I'm not entirely sure. I do have a triple...

Id like to have a length of RODI tubing that I keep rolled up in the garage to reach the tank to fill up my ato container. Can this be gravity...

    What is this growing in my rodi container?

    I have filled my rodi container and mixed it with salt and had the heater turned on and let it circulate for more than a week. I was unable to use the water immediately due to being sick. Now when I looked inside of it I found this brownish film along the edge and the water itself looks kinda...

    Hey all, though I’m not a reefer yet, I’ve been having fun using stuff from the reefing hobby but on my freshwater planted tank. First post! Anyways I had a dumb question around RO/DI water and the DI resin. After reading a couple of posts, I came across this notion of “food grade” DI resin as...

    Tap water TDS 550, how many RODI stages should I use?

    I currently have a 4 stage filter for my tap water that is 550 TDS. I run through DI resin in about every 2 months for my 25 gallon tank. My tap water is not treated with chloramines. My filter does manage to remove everything so my output is 0 TDS. Lastly, I use the RODI buddy booster pump...

    Hot water in rodi

    I just plumbed in everything for my 6 stage rodi. Everything's new. I didn't realize that my blue handled faucet is actually hot water till I burned the @#$% out of myself. Not to mention I don't think it's set up correctly, the amount of water coming out the waste line is not normal. I will...

    Low Water Pressure. What Booster Pump should I get?

    I purchased the 5 Stage Premium Plus 150 GPD Water Saver RO/DI System. I measured my water pressure before I got it and it showed 60 and the minimum is 65. I figured I would get away with it but it isn't working well. I believe I was doing 1:10 (if not worst). The water pressure on the RODI unit...
