RO water, where do you get yours?

Always fill that, add salt & mix for at least a couple of days before doing water change. Water changes for me involve siphoning the display & then bucket brigading 23 gallons of fresh salt water up from the basement. Good workout.

My sumpless 77 gallon Hagen evaporates about a gallon of water per day, so I use glass wine carboys that hold approx. 6 gallons of fresh RODI water as automatic top up directly into my display. A small air pump on a timer keeps the carboy pressurized & the water gets pushed to the display through a mechanical float valve. Takes about 2 hours to fill one of the carboys. Production rate is highly dependent on water pressure & temperature, so don't necessarily expect to get the advertised gpd from your unit.

Mike, sorry for the confusion, i also have a fw tank. I was thinking of just filling up that tank after a wc directly from the ro unit, saving a step.

I mix mu sw in a 6 gallon bucket for 24 hours with its own circulation pump.
