jedidog1 · 05/30/2010, 08:11 AM

Im on a well and have high co2 and low water pressure i got a ideal to put a water container in to fill it with well water then add a air pump to help degas then put a pressure pump or delivery pump on it to deliver the water to my ro/di unite im trying to do two or three things at once this way degas and boost my pressure up to 80 or so for the ro/di unit and it might even bring the temp of the water up to since the well water is in the 60 would this work and if so what pump would you recommend to do this with ?

The water must be pretty acidic.Build a degasing tower.

Just recently there were 2 or 3 threads about this same issue. Some good advise in all of them on how to do this. Not being a jerk, try a search.
If I can find where I posted to them, I'll get a link.
