if you want to cut costs, gotta roll up those sleeves

Time for a bigger rodi unit with more output. Either that or fill with the unit you have then get a barrel or two so you always have 50g or ready and waiting.

It's a plug and play situation, the pumps literally list where to plug each tube into.

The 40 hours sounds like a lot, but it's not that bad, only a couple of days. Obviously this could be an issue if you need to do a 100% water change on a running system, but for the initial setup you all set. This hobby gets expensive enough as it is. Only upgrade the RO system id your really need to. Also it's possibe to get several containers so you can have 200 gal of RO water on hand just in case, although I have never felt the need for doing this myself.
