this is what I bought
Yeah there’s no di on that. They sell it as an extra but you’d also have to buy extra pipe to connect it. Do you have a TDS meter of some sort to test the produced water? You might not need DI but I strongly suspect you will.

This is the one I use https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Stage-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Might be cheaper than your TMC branded one. Not too late to send it back if you haven’t used it. Just a thought.

Would have been cheaper but all set up now. I did speak to the shop for some time and the topic of DI didn’t come up. Is it absolutely necessary or a ‘nice to have’ assuming my TDS isn’t outside of perimeters?

I was under the impression that fish/pet stores were exempt from the lockdowns since they are considered a primary source of food and care for pets like grocery stores and pharmacies are for people. However, an eventual RO/DI Unit is the optimal solution.

What the shop said:
‘The DI pod will help with your filtration if anything does get past the RO membrane, but it is not essential and is absolutely up to you’
Will Run as is and do a measure of the TDS - if it’s unacceptable I’ll buy the add on.

What state are you in just curious? In my area in Illinois that has a state wide lockdown in effect all the fish/pet stores that I have been to recently are open fully.

In the arena.
Is there a petco near you. (they are in London). In NY they are considered essential and open for business. They carry both rodi an saltwater and if not in stock they can order it for you.

We are not in a total lockdown yet. People can still go out for essential items or once a day for exercise. However, it’s still evident that some people are still going about life as if nothing has changed. Banks remain open as do petrol stations, supermarkets etc. Some aquatic shops are still open but some are closed (seems to be on an individual basis at the moment).
Just been announced that our Prime Minister has been diagnosed positive!

Now have the RO, with DI pod, set up - going to run it first time today. Then heat up, add airstone and salt - bought an old fashion glass hydrometer, to keep it floating, to aid measuring.
