Do I really need DI Resin?

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I will keep the Resin as part of the solution. To circle back to the Live Rock - no major concerns using water directly after the whole house softener / filter just to keep it alive? Supposed to pick up 300 lbs tonight and I have no water made yet lol.

I cannot be sure without a test. It's possible zinc might be high.

But you are in a jam and may need to proceed.

Make sure to run the tap water for a bit before collecting to reduce metals like copper from your house plumbing.

Thx - I got this pump booster and it is scheduled to be delivered today. Maybe that will solve my pressure issues and allow me to generate some water - perhaps a little late. Although my faith in a cure all is limited.

Quick follow up - I got the booster hooked up and it is living up to the hype. PSI is up to about 75 and water is coming out about as fast as expected.
