Why thank you!

Got the drain all connected and plumbed. I decided to tap into an existing drain pipe in the laundry room instead of using the floor drain. I thought that the flow from the water change sump might be too much for the floor drain, and I would have to wait for it to drain at a certain speed. This was a little more difficult because there was paint on the pipes. So lots of primer later to get a good solid surface, it looks solid.



Drain comes out into the laundry room



Then goes into an existing drain pipe (from the kitchen sink).



Also go the return lines from the water changing station back into the tanks. The one on the left will be for saltwater to fill the water change tank. The one on the right is to fill my ATO container with RO water. I will leave it all hooked up and ready to top up my ATO resevoir until I have to do a water change.

I also ran an extension cord so that I can just flip a switch on my American DJ powerbar to activate the Mag24 to top up the RO water from upstairs.

Another upset with my RO/DI system though.... I had a vendor order me 3 replacement canisters for the RO side. Came in.... and the threads are different!!! They won't screw in to my BRS unit. The threads on these seem a lot more coarse.

These are now for sale... Anyone need any?? Cheap!



And my poor RO unit :-(




Looks like I will have to bite the bullet and order them for $20 a pop from BRS. And deal with the ridiculous shipping charges and the silly UPS wait times.... .UURRRGGGH

They didn't send new top parts? ?? That seems ... somewhat suboptimal...

For each one I've had to replace (a few now) I replaced the clear part and the top bracket it threads into (it's just held on the metal bracket by screws).

Yeah unfortunately Eli was trying to do me a favor and they did not come with the tops. I thought he was ordering them from BRS, but it obviously wasn't from them. They only come with the tops at BRS. But whateves. Just means i'll have to wait longer before using RO water. I wanted to water test with RO, but i'll just use tap water until the new canisters arrive.

Water testing the whole water changing system begins tonight!
