SW mixing / Delivery

[roostertech]

Doing research on setting up mixing station. I've seen a lot of system that use one common pump to mix and deliver both RODI and SW. Are there there any concern with crossing RODI and SW in the same pipe? Or the salinity effect is so small that it is a none issue?

It would depend on the tank size and length of pipe, I would run two separate lines.

In my case it would be 130g tank, 30 feet away from the source (garage).

What about using the same pump (with multiple valve to change where it draw from). Would that also add some salt into RODI ATO vice versa.

I'm no pro but I would say it would def add a little bit of salt to the mix but I can't imagine enough to effect the salinity, unless the tank is a small nano or something. I'm just looking at it this way, when I mix salt water in a 20 gallon bucket I'm adding about 7-9 cups of salt I don't see a pinch or less effecting over all salinity, as long as you run separate lines to device you should be fine ,unless your measuring salinity in a crazy small scale...just my 2 cents.
