    Sounds good. Hows long does it usually take for 5 gallons to be filtered through.

    The rate at which pure water will be produced will vary greatly, it's really dependant on the water pressure at the source end (your house), and the condition of your filters. For the present we have lousy pressure ~35psi and it takes about 16 hours fill a 32g container, so about 2gph. YMMV

    Not really, I just keep 35gals of fresh SW mixed up and about a hundred gallons or so of RO/DI on hand at all times...

    getting everything completely automated now so it's getting easier to manage, I hate that "did I turn off that line before I left for work" thought that nags at you all day wondering if I'll get home to a flood.

    The only thing I ordered was the RO/DI unit and a TDS meter. Trying to remember for sure if it came with a saddle valve or if I had to use one I had on hand. Other than that it was 100% complete.

    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We don't really drink the filtered water at my house, everything is bottled. Again, I've learned something new from the board, I need to change the filter soon in the system. Another thing, how trust worthy are the water purifiers? It would save me70 cents a gallonand mutliple trips to the store. I don't see any testing equipment hooked up tomy system and it's a Kinetico Water Purifying Systemif anyone has it.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Clem#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
