Hope my well doesn't run dry...

First mistake I made was buying an expensive 75gpd RO when 150 was available. Idiot I am. It's been running for a full 24 hours not and tank is maybe half full at best. I guess it will need another day, maybe more with the sump. I am on my own well. Is this bad? Anyone else deal with something like this? Thank you

I have a 75gpd RO/DI and it took me a few days to initially fill my tank. My well saw no adverse affects but a lot of conditions go into individual well performance. FWIW after the initial fill the 75gpd unit has served me well.

Don't worry about it.This is a hobby where taking your time is an advantage.One extra day to fill your tank has no real bearing on the future.You may wish to test your R/O water with a TDS meter,periodically.Also,depending on what inhabitants you are planning on stocking,consider adding a DI filter,as well.

Thanks guys. I have a tds meter and di attached. The water is coming out perfect. I'm ok with the extra time but am just getting concerned about the well

A properly functioning well will easily handle the draw from your RODI.
