Dont listen to them. I like that size.
But if you want to know its the setting in the camera setting that let you change the size.

At least someone likes the giant pictures!
Ah! camera setting makes sense. Actually now that I inspect the images they have a resolutions of 2048 x 1536 and if I check my phone settings that's the same resolution the camera is set to.



I guess I have something to play around with.


I also picked up a TDS meter yesterday. So I went around testing water sources. My tap water is 146 TDS and the water in my ato reservoir was 62ppm. I tested some ro/di water in my water storage container and it came out at 17ppm. I'm going to make some more water today and test it as it's coming out the ro/di unit and see what that reads.



I hope I don't have to change my filters already!

Ideally your water coming out of your RO DI system should be 0. I change my filters when I start to get a reading. One of the things you can do is run 2 DI filters. When you start to get a reading you remove the first DI and you move the second DI to the first and put now resin in the second Di filter. This way you are getting full usage out of each cartridge of DI resin and you have more purified water. There is a lot of good info on this system on the web.

Also Okanagan water is pretty hard and really puts a drain on your filter cartridges. At least it was when I lived there 30 years ago.

I think I need to change the DI resin. It has almost no black left in it. Probably left it a little too long. Good idea on the dual di filters. I will have to look into that. One thing it seems I need is a pressure booster pump. The psi out of the cold water line is 40psi. I am told I want at least 50psi.


Yes Okanagan water is really hard. I was hoping to get more than 3 months use out of the DI filter. Especially with only making about 10 gal a week.
