so how fast do you exaust your small DI chamber?

micki · « **Reply #2 on:** January 17, 2007, 23:24:48 »

I'd have to ask Randy. The one you see is just an extra one we added. Randy changes the DI and all the other filters. I just order them when he tolls me to.

Is Randy for rent? I have a bunch of stuff I need to do,I will start ordering stuff now so he will be busy.

micki · « **Reply #4 on:** January 18, 2007, 17:31:09 »

LOL You can rent him out after he finishes my list.

It's a long one though!

We used the booster pump for the first time to really make some water. It made over 80 gallons in 18 hours. It normally would have taken 3-4 days. A good investment for sure!

Sounds like I need to invest in one.

micki · « **Reply #7 on:** January 22, 2007, 08:03:52 »

It's worth it to us.

What size RO Unit is yours

micki · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2007, 10:38:31 »

I think 110 gallon per day.

myreeftank · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2007, 23:08:35 »

Wow 110, I did not know they made them that big, How makes it, I would be interested in getting a larger unit

slandis3 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 23, 2007, 00:11:07 »

I belive drfostersmith has on that will do 200gpd. I think Joel has built one in the past that will do alot more than that.

myreeftank · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2007, 08:10:47 »

Thanks I will check it out, That would come in real handy

micki · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2007, 15:19:57 »

I got mine from filter direct.

myreeftank · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2007, 15:57:25 »

Thanks for the info, I did not see a 110 on there site for aquariums, they have a 100gpd. I emailed them to see if they can make me a larger one and at what price. This will come in handy for future upgrades

scott wilson · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2007, 16:54:35 »

I have a 150 GPD from BFS (2-75 GPD membranes). The way you make them bigger is you run the waste from the first membrane into the intake of a second one and so on. I am sure there is a limit for this but I know this is how it is done for up to 200 GPD (2-100 GPD membranes)

micki · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2007, 17:10:52 »

Interesting...

slandis3 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2007, 17:33:48 »

I seen one that the guy put a t after the carbon block an ran to 2 100gpd membrains. Probley alot more wastfull though.

myreeftank · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2007, 21:48:37 »

Micki is that how you did yours to get 110gpd?

ohioreef · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2007, 03:54:37 »

Micki's unit is rated at 110gpd from the manufacturer, under "ideal" conditions of course. I have the same unit except that I had them replace the 110gpd membrane with a 75gpd membrane.

micki · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2007, 06:44:37 »

With the booster pump we are getting 110 gallons per day. Prior to the pump we did not get that. It would take 3-4 days to get the 110 gallons per day.

Cool thanks for the info
