I've finalized the design of the water mixing station.
I've basically only added an extra canister to the Spectrapure UHE100 to allow me to run 2x 0.5 micron carbon blocks instead of the standard 1 0.5 micron carbon block.
With softened city water (from Clearwater) - I'm getting 350 PPM TDS into the unit and getting 2 to 3 PPM TDS out of the RO Membrane and 0 TDS into the barrel.
Note also - these containers appear to be closer to 100 gallons rather than 90 gallons. I mixed up some ESV salt yesterday (by default - it's supposed to come out to 34 PPT). I calculated the amounts I would need for 90 gallons and added those amounts from my 200 gallon box (88 gallons of water - guessed by tank volume), 18 pounds NaCl, 4 # 15.2 Oz of Magnesium Sulfate, 9 # 10.1 Oz of Liquid Component A and 4 # 3.3 Oz of Liquid Component B. When I checked the salinity with my VeeGee Salinity refractometer - it only mixed up to 31 PPT. I found if I added exactly 1/2 of the 200 gallon box of ESV (or mixing to 100 gallons as per the ESV Instructions) - it came out on the money to 34 PPT salinity.

im an addict lol
Nice job. Yes I agree more like 100 gal mix required to get 34ppt. Me too
