RO/DI setups

[daplatapus]

Yeah, that's right. With it set up that way, my RO/DI system will kick in every time the ATO pump does and draws a bit of water out of the Brute. I guess now I am wondering if a pressure tank or two would supply say 2 or 3 cycles of my ATO before my RO/DI system turns on, thus prolonging the run time through the membranes to avoid what Mike was describing in his post.
That might have been why, in my brain, I thought 1 long cycle of the RO/DI was better than many quick cycles that this set I now have gives me.


... and then again, maybe I'm totally overthinking the whole thing, lol

to my mixing station I come off the rodi to the water barrel. Water barrel has a float valve and a small JG type valve between the rodi and the float. When I want to fill the mixing barrel I open the JG valve a the float prevents a flood.

You go do similar, every few days refill the brute, your ATO doesn't short cycle your rodi.

Anyone ever use one of these? Although, now that I've thought about it for 2 seconds, I guess an Apex could accomplish the same thing...

Apex with 2 float switches, or DIY with couple of float switches and a relay. Big thing is upper and lower limit you can set a distance (volume) apart.
