Here is my set up! I used two 35 gallon Brute Cans from Home Depot and my plumbing parts like my 90's, Cepex Ball Valves and my Spears Gate Vales were all bought from BRS!
For my attachments, I used the Banjo connectors that connect right to my Marnie /RV Drinking water hose that goes right to the tank! Pump wise, I am using a Panworld 40px.
I just need to glue a few fittings together and this bad boy will be ready to fire up! THANK GOD, no more carrying or lugging around 5-gallon jugs. The stand was built out of 2 by 4's and Cement blocks.

Here is my station. One tank for ato and ro/di and the other for mixing and nsw. I run an awc off of a Neptune dos unit. The mixing tank has a heater in it. I run my pump every day to agitate the nsw. Controlled off of my apex.
On the nsw tank I can send water to the bottom to mix salt or up top to turn it over.

For anyone who needs to build a vertical setup like mine above, one thing I wish I had was a valve to take RODI from the top container without having to pass through the "shared" piping around the pump. I waste a lot of water draining the lines when I need to switch from salt to fresh.

So after filling stuff up with the really long hose, how do you guys deal with all the leftover water in the hose? Is there a cool mod to somehow back flush the hose?
