new ro/di water tank

[litenyaup]

so i ahve been using a 25 gallon trash can for water for 7 months....got tired of always makeiong water so....i got a 100 gall tank!! i built a stand and got it filling now.

what i have filling it is a 10 stage system....4 di, 2 carbon, 2 sedimate, 2 ro. i got the setup really cheap so thats why i even have this crazy thing!

Why all the "stages" ? You have complicated something that should be very simple. I get 120+ GPD with a single prefilter, single carbon, a booster pump, single membrane and dual DI's. I could probably get by with a single DI but my tap water TDS is over 800 so its cheap insurance.
I fill a 23 gallon Rubbermaid can which is also on as stand and feeds both my sump and can fill buckets and 5G jugs.

Multiple filters cause head loss where it is not needed plus add additional expense at replacement time.

like i said it was a complete system and just put it up and started making water....plus for the price....i dont care how big it is. i give water to my friend, and father in law so i needed to have the big tank.

as far as the making of water, it came with the pump so im doing 150+ gallons a day with it with tds of 0 ppm. from air water and ice it was $50 to replace the filters/di....im local to them so i just pick it up...no shipping!

I got 250 GPD out of this system with no booster pump, 99.23% rejection with RO only and about a thousand gallons per DI cartridge with a tap water TDS of 835 going in. Thats with one sediment, one carbon, two membranes and two DI's.
