By the way, the pool table was moved out! What a job! The top was one piece of slate. approximately 500-600 pounds! The base was one piece. The legs did come off though.

Here is a shot of them bringing the base up the steps from the basement:

your husband is rockin'. very cool. See, now I would have just sawed up the pool table and stacked it in a corner. :lol:

 

[Micki]

LOL I was ready to! They weren't sure if it would fit up the steps and There was no way it would go out the other basement door. I was ready to use it in the bon fire pit next summer!

We used the booster pump for the first time to really make some water. It made over 80 gallons in 18 hours. It normally would have taken 3-4 days. A good investment for sure!

 

[jnarowe]

yup. they work great. what pressure are you getting?

I have no idea, that's my husbands department. I'll ask him.

 

[jnarowe]

I only ask because I have been having problems lately with my RO/DI systems and I think it may be from over-pressurizing. I have fairly low pressure in the house and boost it too, but my shut off valves don't seem to work right and the booster pump ends up hammering the RO/DI. In normal operating mode I am getting about 60 psi at the membrane, but when the shut off doesn't work, the pressure pegs repeatedly until i shut the pump down. I think I may have damaged my membranes.

 

[Micki]

My husband said the pressure is supposed to shut off at 40 psi. We don't have a guage to test ours, but everything seems to be working ok. We also have a 40 gallon pressure tank hooked up to the system.

 

[jnarowe]

pressure tank is a good idea. I may try that.

 

[Micki]

Works for us!

Shot of actinic lighting. You really can't see how it looks but I love it!

The first 2 fish are in!

 

[Micki]

I will be adding more fish in a few days. I want to add them all at once due to their aggression.
