RO/DI system worth it?

[cowboy572]

They are worth the investment. I have had mine for a couple of years now and been through the learning curve with it. I used to go to a water store on the corner of Marbach and Hunt at night sometimes and worried about getting jacked as well. No more worries now, just need to hard mount it. I connect it and remove it from my outside faucet when water is needed. I think thats why I have problems with mt TDS readings, I can never get them to zero. The connecting, removing, and inconsistent pressure on the membrane is why I can not get a constant zero reading each time I make water.

Beware the 24/7 on with a float. I run mine this way, but I monitor the sound of waste water running out. If you can't do this then you could end up paying for it.

A few months ago I discovered the four way valve thing that is supposed to only run waste water WHILE making rodi was stuck open.

Can you say $390 water bill? My wife was upset. Very upset. As upset as only a latina can pull off.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that more than one marriage has been ruined by this hobby.

I got mine from aquarium designs and he put a cut off valve on there that unless the float valve was tiggered nothing would run. Not event he waste water. If the float valve shut off everything shut off so there was no unessisary waste. Worked like a charm for me.

Yep, me too... Until mine failed. I replaced it and now pay attention to the tell tale signs in case it fails again.

Figure time and gas and qualiity of water you are buying. I got one from Air Water Ice with with a sink drinking water hookup and a free TDS Meter. I checked LFS water it came out 24ppm now I am running 0ppm.
