RODI system placement.

yiorgo · 04/02/2006, 10:02 AM

Hi,

I will purchasing a new RODI system for my reef this week.
I've just started researching the subject, and I read a lot of good words about the AIR, WATER, & ICE - TYPHOON III system (http://airwaterice.com/product/1TYPHOONIII).

My new house has a water softener system. Is it ok to attach the RODI system after the water softener or before?

Also, any good suggestions for a Nitrate removal system ?

Thanks,

Yiorgo

You will want to install the system after the water softener. Let the softener do most of the work first, then your RO/DI. Great unit, I have one too and just met two people this weekend that also have them! They love it too.

mine too (although my raw water is well water)-- the softener does filter your water somewhat
