Am I a ridiculously over the top guy.
Example:
I am on a well and have no chlorines. My source water TDS has never been over 180.
I learned reefing requires high quality water.
I started out with a BRS 6 stage RO/DI unit.
Have always had 0 TDS output with that but....
I up graded that system to a 7 stage and still 180 in 0 TDS out.
Then before the RO/DI, I added a 10 inch big blue sediment filter and a pressure booster.
System runs at 85 pounds.
That was not good enough so I upgraded again and went with two 10 inch DI Canisters per resin.
Still 180 in 0 out.
But again, still not good enough so I ordered 9 20 inch canisters and am in the assembly process of having three 20 inch canisters for each DI resin stage. 60 inches of resin, capacity per...
I ordered a second 20 inch big blue sediment filter to install before the 10 inch
The 6 10 inch canisters I had for the resins will now be carbon canisters.
Oh yea and I have two three port TDS meters for redundancy.
So my RO/DI system when completed will be as follows.
Position #
#1 20 inch big blue with a sediment filter one inch plumbing.
#2 10 inch big blue with a sediment filter one inch plumbing.
#3 Pressure booster. 3/8ts plumbing.
#4 Three 10 inch canisters with the BRS sediment filters.
#5 Six 10 inch carbon canisters.
#6 200 gallon per day RO unit.
#7 3 20 inch canisters for the Cation stage.
#8 3 20 inch canisters for the Anion stage.
#9 3 20 inch canisters for the mixed bed stage.
At this point I many not have water in my water LoL..
I have to be crazy right?
