I know that there are many threads here regarding mixing stations, but I’ve only run across a few that were setup on the outside. I live in South Florida and temperatures here are for the most part warm to hot.
I originally designed a portable mixing station which allowed me to store it outside but then roll it in the house when I was read to do a water change. The portable measures 48x 24 and was only inside Friday night – Sunday noon. Unfortunately, my better half decided that she didn’t want in the house anymore.
This presented a problem as I didn’t want to have to lug buckets for water changes. My laundry room (which is tiny) sits on the other side of the wall where my tank is setup and the location of the RODI is setup.
Here is my current tank and location
I measured the distance from my tank to the outside wall. It was only 6 feet which gave me the idea to set up my mixing station outside the house and then plumb the lines to and from the outside to the inside. When I told my wife this idea, she went for it.
So, I started. Here is what I did so far.
4 holes – 1 for electric- 1 for RODI – 1 for supply to the Tank and 1 for the return (wastewater)
Any recommendations or additional holes I might need?
