!!!7000+ POUNDS OF GLASS!! YOU GUYS UP FOR A BUILD OR WHAT??

[star fawkes]

Adam is alive! Been a while man lol

 

[Chris Adams]

Very cool glad to hear it is positive. Can't wait. Living vicariously through you and your build.

Sure thing. All the return lines are 2" indeed. My runs are over 30 feet long and i wanted to optimise flow. Cant really go wrong with 2" on the iwaki 100. I think they run a little quieter even. Maybe thats just me.

These powerful pumps like an Iwaki 100 will have cavitation of it has too much back pressure. That's is usually the cause for noise. Also diameter of the line is the single biggest factor in head pressure calculations. Bigger pipe=better flow, the end.

Holy crap sorry for the lag in updates here! Been way way busy! pics and actual progress update coming real soon! the news is good

So how do you define "real soon"?

It's been a while...

He has to be the only vendor on the internet where it is faster to get an order delivered than a picture posted!

to funny @Brew12

Hmm maybe someone should order some pictures and post them for him.

 

[justingraham]

@Brew12 u are correct I ordered a battle box of mystery and he gets back to u within the hour awesome to work with in that sense

But ask for a photo even after he said he was going to post one up for get about it

He is taking lessons off of @revhtree build thread I guess

I'll cut them both some slack. I would imagine Adam is having to work incredibly hard keeping these large new systems stable along and getting everything dialed in while still keeping his customers happy.

I know Rev is having to fill the role of two pastors at his church with his father still being laid up. He is still trying to move forward with his build, and has 4 QT tanks currently stocked with fish. And that is on top of his responsibilities within R2R. I wouldn't expect him to make posting a FTS a priority either.

Would I love to have photo's of both setups? Of course. I'll even tease them about it. I also understand that their priorities are in the right spot at this point. We will get our eye candy eventually.

LOL not a bad idea! My customers do get the high priority Just getting over the hump guys I swear, had to upgrade my RO/DI as the 75 gpd just wasn't cutting it. Took me over a week to fill one tank! Upgraded to the UHE 400gpd but I'm still waiting for a part that was missing

 

[BigJim]

Wow that's a beast.

 

[dragon99]

Somebody's overcompensating....

Tell us how that works out for you. I like the low wastewater ratio on those units. I'm running a OLD spectrapure 3-stage that's been frankesteined with dual DI and a second RO membrane. It works, but I'd love to have one of the new UHE units.

 

[bruleyii]

That thing looks serious. Looks like something for bio warfare.

 

[Eric B]

The new set up is going to be awesome Adam!

Absolutely.

I looked at these years ago because my water here is super expensive second highest in the state , so it wasn't a hard decision., It will pay for itself in time. The set up is kind of involved but I have it figured out. Just waiting for part lol

Well if you didn't live in a desert maybe your water wouldn't be so high.

Sure would be nice if Wisconsin had a huge freshwater lake or a large river on its borders. Or even just had a lot of smaller lakes sprinkled in it. Maybe then they could figure out a way to lower your water rates.

Yeah it's honestly a few ticks away form robbery. When we first moved her i went down and complained all the time, begging to know why its so much but they never gave me anything other than to say that the people it servers is relatively small so thats part of it. "Oh well" was about it from them and they handed me the sheet on how to save water.

Not to mention, The water itself sucks. I finally got a much better mechanical house filter, but before then, id go through sed filters every time i made water. Literally, i watched them turn orange. And it stinks hard of chlorine. excessively

Its a sore spot for me lol hopefully the new unit will ease that burden

Given your situation, have you considered putting in a personal well just for your RODI? It might pay for itself in a few years, especially if your water department uses chloramine which will burn out your RODI unit fairly quickly.

was the first thing I asked,

They said I cant do it! Not allowed in the municipality so the really got me don't they. . Trust me I'd have done it years ago. I have already paid for about 5-6 wells now in 10 years here.

We have an office in Kenosha, the water is some of the worst I've come across in this country.

Have you thought about rainwater collection?
