Water Mixing Station Same Pump?

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,

Do y'all use the same pump to push your mixed salt water as well as your RO water to your tank / ato resivour?

I am trying to design my 3rd station now, and looking for a super-compact version, and wonder if people do this? I've always used gravity to feed the ATO, but I want to get some speed with a pump this time around.

Yes, but I run the pump for a few seconds from the RO bin into the SW bin first, and then switch the valves to the ATO reservoir.

This is what I was thinking of doing, 5 extra seconds to clear the line. How long is your hose run?

45-50 feet

45-50 feet

I'll be running much shorter at my new spots - shouldn't be bad
