I wish I had known about "Felix" / Reef Savy three weeks ago... He is only a short drive away from my home. Then again, it seems he is booked solid.

In any case, if you happen to talk to him, please tell him to check his inbox!!! :neutral:

He'll answer you soon enough Im sure. You being in Miami you'll save a lot by picking it up there.

Water?

 

[spspirate]

Soon Chris. You'll be the first to know:) lol..Working on the RODI station in the mud room. I had the plumber install a separate cold water for my RODI so I did not have to run off the washer line.

I've always used hot water, I'm pretty sure it makes the RO/DI work more efficiently?

I'm pretty sure ur not supposed to use hot water.

Yeah hot water will ruin your RO membrane. DI resin may be toast at a temp over 110 F. The cooler the water the slower the out put but greater the rejection. Warmer the water the faster the out put but a lot less rejection. I think ideal would be 70 F. But as long as the TDS shows me zeros I'm happy happy happy.

It ain't going anywhere!...lol I may do a few modifications like adding wood blocks to the plates to get a more snug fit. You could park a army tank above that floor!..lol

Sick tank. I like the dimensions

 

[feh]

I'd ditch that sand you used under the blocks... it holds moisture.

You think? Underneath the house is dry as a bone. Also the sand shouldn't settle.
