So the ASOV doesn't shut off when you kink / close the output line. It vibrates a tremendous about and reduces waste water but that's it. I burned through a full canister of resin with 20 gallons which I believe i know the root now.. Someone confirm or deny. I didn't flush the membrane before...
It's happening guys !!
Sand in tank
Making salt water
Rock in
This much marine pure in ? Good ? More ? Or less?
Live rock came with a friend ...
Waiting for it to clear up now
Thank you !
Little update - got amazon to partially refund for the DI resin and they're sending a new ASOV in case the one I had was broken.
Question -
Is it bad to start cycling a tank without rock? I ask in case I can't make it to the LFS for some
I think I will purchase a pressure tester off amazon for 10 bucks.. can't help.
DI is golden brown and my dual TDS meter is showing output at 22 TDS... I will be using this water either to start my tank today.
I did reconfigure hoses to install all of the fail safes etc etc. I made sure to...
It's color changing resin. It recommends 65 for optimal pressure. The carbon / sediment / membrane we're installed but since I isntalled DI solenoid and float valve I had to adjust several connections
As I said my tap reads 447 but last night I was reading 0 out of the DI chamber.. so it was working however, something is causing it to drain WAY to fast.. how often do you replace your resin?
It's for sure coming from a copper pipe. My brother always used our pure tap water for top offs so I'm wondering what's going on. I'm pissed that I burned a DI resin in less than 24 hours ... Maybe Amazon ships the RO buddie with **** resin? Can someone supply a link to good resin?
Maybe I didn't install the membrane correctly? IE it needs to be pushed further down and water is not going through the membrane ? What's your TDS from tap? I am looking into pressure gauges. W hat are the downfalls to using 20TDS water instead of 0
I do not have a booster pump installed. I do not know my house water pressure but from what I see / tell compared to others it's GOOD whatever that may be.
So new additions to the story... I made ~20 gallons overnight and my DI resin is already exhausted.. my meter claims that it's 440ppm...
3/20/19 night time update !
So I installed my RO system tonight but for some reason the float doesn't work. The auto shut off valve doesn't seem to cut the flow and begins to vibrate crazy ! Any thoughts ?
Goodies received today.. hopefully the last big purchases...
RO mounting bracket...
