Agree with ya there Doug on the life span. but my water is 980 coming out so i might as well have some happiness withthe RO DI line

as for the RO line running the Kalk reactor when the water goes in it only goes in at the speed as the small union is screw into so If I want 3 drips per second coming out. Then 3 drips per second will only go in.
