FS : Brute RO/DI - ATO reservoir

[Sparkss]

We are selling the 32g brute can, plus wheels, that we used for our ATO-RO/DI reservoir. It also includes a spigot for drawing RO/DI water for whatever needs that might arise, as well as an MJ 900 to feed the RO/DI water to a sump as part of an ATO setup and a Kent float valve.

Here is the front, with the spigot and connection for 1/4" RO/DI line to connect to an ATO

Here is the back with the cord from the MJ and the connection to the Kent float valve.

Here is inside, with the Kent float valve and MJ.

$55 OBO

Is it sold Tom?

 

[Sparkss]

It is supposed to be, but there has been some disconnect with the purchasing party. If I can't confirm pickup by tomorrow I will put it back out for sale.

 

[Sparkss]

Sold and delivered.. Thanks

Hey thanks for posting the pics, it gives me some good RO reservoir ideas! I had bought float valves, etc and a sterlite container, but was thinking I was going to tap a valve in it, but the maxijet idea is much better because I can leave the container on the ground and still draw from it!

no problem, glad we could help .

It also helps to still use a solenoid between the reservoir and the sump, to avoid a syphon forming and draining the reservoir . That or put some sort of an air-gap in the line or have it output into the sump at a level above the top level of the water in the reservoir. Just a few things we learned through trial and error

That's a damn good deal I wish I would have jumped on. The can and wheels alone are at least $80. Actually I don't think Rubbermaid even makes the wheels for the Brutes anymore.

ouch.. I should have kept em then . But I think that they still do... the wheels alone run around $40 at Home Depot, if I recall... I just hated having a reservoir that I couldn't move around, if I need to, when it was full, so the wheels were pretty much a requirement for us

I tried ordering the wheels for a 44g a while back through homedepot.com and they said they don't carry them anymore. They sent me a similar unit with the wheels installed off to the side (like a hand truck, typical garbage can style). Only problem is they're not NSF and not saltwater safe. They still make the can itself though.

Long story short, I hope you're right.

Lowes and Home Depot carry the wheels for the Brute trashcans.

Not at the ones I checked. I drove around every HD in Sac. They told me to get it online. Neither HD nor Lowes shows the item on their website. If you can show me a link I'd appreciate it.

The HD people keep trying to sell me this stupid thing, which is NOT saltwater safe:

At the Rubbermaid homepage (www.rcpworksmarter.com) they list the wheels. Rubbermaid still makes them (for $89!). I just can't find a place to buy them.

Also, if worst comes to worse, you can make one out of plywood and casters, right?

Yeah, I've been using one of those little padded square rolling dollies. It's just a pain getting it through tight spaces sometimes.
