Has anyone ever tried to feed their rodi from a bucket/container?

Just fill a bucket with tap water, attach 1/4” rigid tubing to a sicce submersible pump( with adapters), and then feed water into the rodi.

Would this work? What do you think the psi would be?

You would need a pressure pump to pump through the membrane.
Why would you want to do this anyways?

Since it only ruins the resins, you can make RO water normally into a container and then repump it through the DI resins.

Easy job. I use an MJ1200 with a 1/2" to 1/4" push connect adapter.
