Di Resin how many canisters?

[jpruitt]

Hello all I have been reefing for years now but recently moved out to the country where the source water is a well. I sent off water for testing and discovered my water has a very high amount of phosphate and silica. My RODI is not pulling enough phosphate and silica out of the source water per the last test I sent off. I was wondering as I currently run a brs RODI with dual di resin and recently purchased the spectrapure max di and silica buster, can I run 4 stages of di resin to help remove the last of the phosphate and silica from my source water so I can remain algae free. I run a booster pump so the psi stays at a constant 85 psi.

The reasons for the question is I am starting to get a small bit of hair algae and have traces it back to my source water.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

At least in theory you can run as many of whatever canisters as you can plumb together.

Talk to Russ at www.buckeyehydro.com and perhaps he can come up with an economical solution to your problem.

Thanks for the response. Just did not know if running 4 stages of di would cause any weird effects. Did not figure it would but wanted to ask none the less.

Check out this video from BRS. This will allow you to "œtune" 2 or 3 stages specific to the challenges of your water.

Sounds like massive over kill. The output from your RO membrane should be a couple of PPM. I run one canister and its 0.
