Yes.

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

Yes.

I have a 75gpd brs rodi system in the basement. When I bought the house it tested high for iron, manganese(I think?) and arsenic so the seller installed a dual tank self cleaning water softener system and a new sediment filter. That said, I still feel like my first pre filter in my rodi system gets visibly dirty pretty quick. My iron was super high. I have the test somewhere if it's helpful or relevant. Would it be beneficial to throw a second filter in before my rodi system?

It never hurts to add extra pre filters but you'd want to ensure it's filtering iron because I believe not all filters get iron.

Iron and manganese makes for some stained clothes...

I heard well water in general goes through ro filters and di resin pretty quick anyways so I'll have to buy lots of filters regardless.

It's a really nice system, I plan on replacing all the exposed plumbing in the basement eventually because when I replaced the showing mixing valve the ¾" copper had the same id as ½" copper from all the iron buildup. So i think it's still leeching the copper out and staining a little but nearly as bad

I can relate about the baby thing. I have a1 year old who doesn't sleep longer than an hour or 2 told... today is actually his birthday! It's bad enough we've been referred to try cutting a slight tongue tie in hours maybe that'll help him sleep :sleeping-face: I'd be interested in seeing what you got going on if you did a build thread

happy birthday!

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

happy birthday!

I'd tell him but it's his first birthday l, I'll tell you to what I assume he'd say "eeaaahhhhhh! Dadadada ts ts ts" or something along those lines :face-with-tears-of-joy: :face-with-tears-of-joy:

He says dadada for most everything. Everything else is tss. He sounds like a little snare drum :face-with-tears-of-joy:

 

[tbrown]

[tbrown]

He's trying to do the drum...

Frozen? I think that's what I usually get.

Yea, I always see people saying they feed "x" but no one around me carries a good selection. Ecslecially of live food so I would have to order it. Like reef nutrition roe, and I don't want to spend 25$ to overnight a small thing of roe :downcast-face-with-sweat:

I am on well, it’s not to hard but I’m 8 months in and no changes to my filters yet. I’m getting close though Pulling 1 TDS after sediment and then 0 coming out DI.

How hard is your well water? Sorry if I missed it in earlier threads
