so I've always had this idea to build a nice water station. I finally finished!! gear is as follows: 6 stage dual membrane ro/di, booster pump(so worth the extra money), 2 x 25g storage containers, mag 18 mix/transfer pump, dual tds meter mh digital, hm filter monitor (measures # gallons put through system) 200w heater for salt mix.
so far I have made 40-50g in 3 hours!! yes those are brass fitting for now, but they only come in contact with water when transferring water so I'm not too worried as ball valves insulate them. salt is poured in a hole on top board through a funnel. when it's time to change water I hook my python and run it to tank and turn two valves and I'm refilling. any questions please ask

Good call on the heater. Did you ever get one of those maxr membranes from buckeye hydro?

Im getting ready to put together a mixing station too and figured I'd replace my ro membrane.

Yes I'm running dual max membranes, they work great I was getting 95% rejection with low pressure now with booster pump I'm at 98%

yes I think best additions besides the water station itself has been booster pump and monitor, no guess work on filter life, and the membrane works more efficient now.
I'm looking forward to next water change lol

Would the booster pump help even if my water psi was at 80psi alone? And where can I find this water monitor
