I was thinking today - filling this tank up with RO/DI water is such a WASTE!
my little Typhoon III from Air Water Ice has an approximate waste ratio of 3 to 1
To make 300 Gallon of RO/DI - it takes 1,200 of house water
300 pure
900 waste
that is 1,200 gallons!
NOW - here is the worst ... i have a whole house RO system - right now i have it set for about 3.5 : 1 (waste / pure)
To make 1,200 Gallons of House water - it takes 5,400 of Well water
1,200 pure
4,200 waste
that is 5,400 gallons ! ! !

20 1/4 " @ 92 hours ... since its been colder for the past 2 nights ... the water in my storage tank outside has cooled way down, and RO/DI production has slowed down.

well .. well. ... well.... 1 1/4" after 14 hours just didn't sound right to me ... and it wasn't.
My little RO/DI system had shutdown ... probably late yesterday even.
As stage 3 i'm running a .5 micron Ceramic Carbon filter ... and that one was clogged shut. even with about 50 PSI of pressure it wan't passing any water....
I'm up for another filter replacement though - sediment filter is already beige, so is the 5 micron coconut carbon block.

well .. i called Clean Water America - where i purchased the ceramic carbon filter ... they said there is no warranty on it from them ... and Yes, they cloag very easily - hence the no warranty part ...
couldn't she have told me before she sold me this $30 filter?
anyway ... i washed the filter ... and its making water again .. bu slower than w/out that filter of course.
the filter was really slimey ... so was the clear housing on the inside ... I KNOW WHY I'M FILLING THE TANK WITH RO/DI water .. and not just straight water.
