Post Water General 150 GPD 6-Stage RO/DI Water Filtration System.

Up until this point I have been utilizing Poland Spring water as top off freshwater for my aquarium. This probably has brought on most of the algae issues as I use Nutri-Seawater for my regular salt mix. It utilizes an Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump since the main water pressure is only 35 PSI. This unit requires a minimum 60 PSI to function properly. I am pretty happy with the system so far. I made my first batch of top off freshwater and I'm hoping to see some phosphate levels drop in the next few weeks.

Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump which pulls water from the kitchen sinks main cold water source.




Plumbing split from the kitchen sink main cold water source. One goes to the Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump and the other goes to my refrigerator.

Yes, I am actually waiting on the mounts that screw into the wall to arrive. I thought I was the only one who noticed that the exhausted DI Resin is heavier and falls to the bottom of the container and the rest of the media tumbles like a reactor.
