I run a storage (bladder) tank off my ro/di, wondering best if the sand cartridge before or after the tank (or doesn't matter).

I would put it after just to prevent any sand particles from carrying over into your storage tank, but it really doesn't matter.

Would you be able to run this in place of a calcium reactor? Maybe threw your ATO.

I'm curious to see if this makes a difference. I've got a few spare cartridges kicking around somewhere, maybe even a clear one. I think I'll try setting one up right before my ATO goes into my tank. Flow should be nice and slow there. Too bad all my old sand is now in the garden
