I got my ro/di hooked up this weekend, after the ro it is was showing 27ppm and after the DI it was showing 0 ppm. The readinghave changed since I ran about 30 gallons through it and now it shows about 16ppm after the ro. Is there a breaking in period. I will be ordering more DI this week in preperation for changes if needed. The membrane is 75gpd at a 97-98% rejection rate.
My new frag tank with sump and fuge are set up and running. I will drain it tommrow (freashwater testing) and wiping it down. Is there anything else I should do to it befor eI fill it up with new clean water?
This leads me to my next couple of questions. What salt does everyone use/buy? I have never mixed my own saltwater yet and am looking for any pointers. I will be buying about a 15 gallon trashcan as I do not have room for the brute (right now at least).
My question is can I fill the tank up with water and then mix the first batch of saltwater in the tank? If so add some pointers please.
I would have never thought I would be excited about pure water in my house. I needed water for a top off so I tapped the line and got some. I went about a year in this hobby and within two days I know this is the best purchase I ever made for supporting my addiction. All I see is money and time saved.
Thanks for evryones help and what sort of float switch does everyone reccomend? One for the freshwater reservoir and also looking for suggestions on auto topoff solutions. I know I researched the crap outa them about 8 months ago, and it looks like I will do it again tommorow while I am at "work"
Hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend.
