Yup, gotta agree on that. Also, the single best thing I ever did was plumb my top -off to my water supply. Not manually filling jugs (like I've done for 10 years) is the single best thing ever!

I guess I also have to add the HRV we had installed. Before the HRV, the humidity was wrecking our house and my wife was really not happy. After the HRV, humidity is a none issue.

+1 on the HRV,...Now my wife says it's to dry in the house.

I just finished plumbing my auto top-off in yesterday so I haven’t reaped the benefits from it yet. I'm sure it will be on my list in a few short days.

My bubbleking skimmer is hands down the best purchase. Not once in the last 3 yrs have I wanted to throw it off the deck....and that's saying something, I frustrate easily apparently

Yup I have been running my top off off my RO/DI line since 2002 and love it. regular checking of the float switch is the key.


My DELTEC AP 702 Skimmer.

Easyblade - with my big tank, saves me hours of work.
Ozonizer - if I had started with it I would have save hundreds in UV and QT equipment. Plus crystal clear water!
ATO system - plain old float valve.

RD pump and BK skimmer purely for the low noise level. It's nice to have your tank and equipment in your living room without it making a single detectable sound.
