I just filled my entire tank with RODI water it took almost 48-hours, new tank.
I wanted to avoid all the 5-gallon jugs needed to extend my RODI tubing 25-feet, so I bought this ice maker kit thinking it’s food grade and the push connect coupler is plastic so I should be fine. When I finished and took the coupler off I realized it had a tiny metal tube inside it. I freaked out hoping it was plastic and took some pliers and ripped it out. Definitely metal and probably brass. I also dumped in 100-gallons worth of saltmix before discovering this. Here is the link to what I bought and a picture of the metal tube that was inside of the push to connect fitting. Now I’m paranoid I have metal/copper in the water. Thoughts?
