NEW RODI

[jerryc]

OK i have been using my old ro unit for a long time with fair results but wonted to do
a lot better as I'm slowly getting in to SPS. And afraid of losing the investment before i
get started good. So i toke the plunge and ordered Thais.
Got the pic from the sit as it will be a few days be four i receive it looking forward to
getting it so i can get to the playing with it part.

Dakar and I both have that unit... I love mine.

Fantastic little unit, and the price couldn't be touched. Though I opted out on the pressure tank and drinking faucet, in hindsight I would have gotten the pressure tank, considering getting a separate one to add to the system now. Having 4-5 gallons ready at a moments notice would be easier sometimes.

How's your water pressure Jerry? Seems like I recall she'll operate on 30-90 psi, mine is lousy, down around 40 right now, so the advertised 110GPD is reduced to about 60GPD, which is good enough for me.

I'm on a privet water source have the pump sit at 50 to 70 PSI I'm a fan of good
water perisher as we water a garden and the wifes flowers out of it i enjoy
working in the garden and yard.

Should do quite well. Waiting for our well pump to die here so I have teh excuse to switch it out with a 1 horse submersible and 50 gallon pressure tank, so I can turn it up to at least 65, I like the shower to function as a sandblaster. This little 1/2h jet pump on there now sucks rocks.

nope, only a shallow well ~35', then again we are less than 1000 yards from the Wisconsin River don't have to go deep to find a lot of water.

Thats a nice looking unit,I have a similiar one.What kind of filters are you using for your first 3 stages?

[dakar]

1st stage: high capacity, 5 micron sediment filter, to remove sediment, rust, sand, (replace every 12 months)

2nd stage: high capacity carbon filter, coconut shell granular activated carbon removes chlorine, taste & odor (replace every 12 months)

3rd stage: high capacity carbon filter, coconut shell granular activated carbon further removing chlorine to ensure 100% removal of chlorine (replace every 12 months)
