Starting the fill of the 1100 gallon tank today

[mehaffydr]

I am about to start filling the 1100 gallon Plywood tank with water. After over 5 months of hard work this thing is ready to get wet.

This is going to take a while....

 

[mehaffydr]

Yes it will I just ordered a new RODI that should be here early next week but for now only 50GPD

let me know if you need help with anything

At 50gpd, you will have it filled in 22 days.. that doesn't include your evaporation rate.

That's a long fill

I ordered a new RODI 200GPD that will be here next week so as soon as that shows up this fill will really get moving

500 would be nice The largest I saw on BRS website was 200 so I went with that.

Yeah - i have the 200 gpd. It seems slow but its because of the volume needed.

I just like the idea of filling this thing in 4-5 days instead of 22 days do you find you ever have issues with the 200 per day I know you also have a monster tank

I changed my order at BRS from a New RODI to an RODI upgrade that gets me 150 GPD which they shipped Monday. UPS had it showing to deliver Wednesday but now it is weather delayed and No new delivery date given. Good news I thought mine was 50 gpd and its really 75 gpd. the Tank is now 11" deep so about 1/3rd full. Slow and steady

Tanks full, water is @ 78deg. salt is 1.025, Things are progressing nicely right now. I just have a lot of cleanup and straightening as the room and back patio are a mess right now.
