Yeah I'm in the process of setting up a 190. Thinking about using a 40 breeder for the ato resovior

That's a big reservoir! I guess that's good if you're manually filling it. An under $15 float switch connected to your RO output will keep a smaller reservoir going easily.

Hmm that would be better and safer. I just thought you had to run your rodi unit couple min before you use that water that's been in the lines when it was shut off last, how reliable are those rodi shutoff valves? I know the float switch looks pretty bullet proof to go wrong.

It runs constantly. It's fine. If you're losing 3-5 gallons a day. It's topping off quite frequently. Thus, RO is always topping off as well. I keep a power head in the 10g reservoir just to keep it moving in the reservoir. I think it's only a problem when that line sits for days.

That may be true, I might go that route and just drill a hole in the resovior just incase rodi machine shutoff fails and route it to a drain.it would just be hard to dose kalk that way,thanks for the info.

Here's a closer look. My RO is always moving water somewhere.

ATO reservoir.

Tee for filling whatever

Water mixing

Closer look at the connection.

ATO float switch. Sorry for bad link

Dbondaruk · 12/08/2013, 06:32 PM

The pics don't show up on mine, before you post the pick link delete the http that comes up automatically when you hit the insert pic.

Geoffwehler · 12/08/2013, 06:34 PM

Huh....okay. I'm on a mobile device. I can see them fine. I'll try that.

So you have a have a float switch directly from your rodi to your ato container, how do you fill your container to mix sw,,,nevermind I see the T to the brute can

I don't know if that's better because now I can't see them but I have tees and float switches for ATO res, a place to fill buckets, and two water mixing containers.

Geoffwehler · 12/08/2013, 06:40 PM

RO is just on all the time. It fills all containers until full and stops.

Dbondaruk · 12/08/2013, 07:30 PM

Looks like a good system, how long have you ran it that way

Geoffwehler · 12/08/2013, 07:45 PM

Since go. Which really isn't that long for this system. I started making water for this system about a year ago. It's been good to me though. Only maintenance has been DI resin. I'm on a well and I guess I have a decent amount of silicates because I can go through some DI resin. Of course getting back to the topic. I evaporate a over 5 gallons a day in the winter so RO/DI gets quite a work out, and god forbid I do a water change. Another 30-50 gallons. Knock on wood....it's been bullet proof.
