This was my first build with no leaks the first time, too! I know how excited you are!

In the process of adding RO/DI. Rockwork is all in the tank but subject to change. Once I'm happy, I'll post a pic.

I also finished the basic setup on my Apex. I just love the new Fusion software. If you haven't updated your Apex to this, go for it.

Wow, speedy, you're blowing me away! I don't even have all my rockwork done!

I love the fusion software, just wish I hadn't cheaped out years ago and bought the Jr.

Time for some pictures, or your just telling stories![emoji1]

Semi-temporary retirement has its advantages. As far as the Apex is concerned, you can always buy a new head unit.

This may be a silly question, but how do you go about filling up a new 100+ gallon system? Do you have to have an ro/di setup on hand? Run back and forth to the LFS trying with buckets? Is there a service that will come out and do the initial fill?

An RODI system rapidly pays for orself, especially once you get over 40-50 gallons.

Yes. I have a 90 gallon per day 5 stage Spectrapure RO/DI. Spectrapure is local (in Tempe), have great customer service, and their systems are basically bulletproof (except when I install the RO membrane backwards and blow out two DI cartridges). Assuming you do regular water changes and topoffs, it pays for itself in less than a year on a 100 gallon system.

Thank you. I always thought RO/DI systems needed to be plumbed into a water line but after looking last night it looks like a lot of systems (including the spectrapure) come with a garden hose attachment which would be perfect.

For those of you following along, I've decided to continue this thread in the SPS forum. I'd like the widest possible audience to witness the comedy of errors that is sure to follow.
