I see you take your backup seriously. Which is a good thing.

Thanks Dave,One thing I would caution you on with the Vertex reactors: The input and output has you see in the images are hard set in that position. You cannot move them. This may or may not make them difficult to position in your set-up.

I was impressed with the build quality of the GLA tanks I looked at. I'll know more on Sunday when mine is deliveredGlad I found this build. I'm moving in the next month and will be upgrading my tank as well. I plan on checking out GLA.
Hi , your learning Steve from GLA is like a week or 2 over his guestimated done time. I purchased 2 of his tanks a 140 and 165W. Mostly happy with the build quality.
What are your thoughts on the WPs ?
Thanks - I'm also learning lots along the way.Lots of learning taking place in this build thread- thank you! You mentioned using a generator. Can you share more about this - type/kW/ transfer panel etc...also how does the APC interact with the generator. Thanks!
I agree, it's likely a single saddle valve would not be able to provide enough supply for the boost pump - That's why I installed dual valvesIf your using a booster pump and a saddle valve chances are pretty good that your out drawing the saddle valve. The best bet is to cut the punctured section of copper out and solder in a t-fitting. Then add the proper compression hookup for the 1/4" supply line.
I'm literally tweeking my RODI now... Booster pump is in and supply line is connected through a compression fitted fitting. The issue I'm having now is short cycle. I think the 40 psi is to much pressure to tell it to shut off. I want to do the float valve thing more like you said and control it with the APEX but, that is on a very long list of things.
