I don't have your RODI unit, so I don't know, but are you sure thats the RODI water coming out and not waste water? On mine the orange tube is waste water, and its tough to tell from a still picture, but the flow rate looks really high coming out of it...
But then again, I'm sure it came with directions, so sorry for the post in advance.

Have you looked into drilling the tank? Even the manufacturers of overflow boxes stae that a drilled tank is better than having their overflow box.

SW101 · 06/07/2011, 03:25 PM

Thanks for the advise.The tubes are in the right place the I got 30 gallons of water in an hour becuse we have 75 psi for are water so no boster pump was needed.

I have hought about drilling the tank but never got around too it so im going to keep the hob overflow,thanks again
