RO/DI Purchased today

[DLANDINO]

Hi, I took advantage of the CTARS discount at Air Water and ICE and purchased the Mighty Mite RO/DI system. With the shipping it came to $103.00. I will let the forum know my thoughts on the system once it arrives.

Sweet...

Yeah, I am thankful that my weekly 10 gallon Walmart trips are nearly over.

 

[N-A-S-O]

LoL I used to do the same. Thank god those days are over. Good luck with your new toy

Update:

The Mighty Might is up and running and it is as promised. 1 gallon per hour 0 TDS. Easy to use on the fly as well. I put on my kitchen sink tap, run the drain line to the drain and the output to individual gallon containers and then just unhook it and put it away. Perfect unit for a small tank. I require 6 gallons per week for my needs and was able to get that in two nights after work.

Wow, this sounds like a great, cost effective system. How expensive are the filters and how often do you have to change them out? Sorry, I haven't read up on this system at all.

 

[DLANDINO]

Check here, the replacements are 28.00 although it doesn't say how long the filters last they are "full size" I have an email into the company and will report back the approximate gallons of 0 TDS to expect.

I guess it is different for everyone. This is the official way to tell according to Don at Air Water and Ice

Depends on how well the RO membrane is doing. Basically, take the TDS of the water coming out of the RO membrane (before the DI) and divide 3400 by it. This should give you the approximate amount of gallons you will get of zero TDS water.

What is the waste to purified water ratio...? Just curious.

 

[DLANDINO]

i haven't measured but it is considerable. I would have to guess about 5 to 1. I am going to measure this on my next production and see how I can salvage it and use it in the gardens. I have a well so I don't pau for the water but it is still wasteful.

I have my wast going into a 55g drum next to the cloths washer and have a pump just fill the washer with waste water for every load get about 3 or 4 loads when it is full
