![]() Why waste hot water...it's going down the drain...unless you use 100% of the elevated tds water for watering plants or whatnot. People talk about how much systems costs when up and running using hot water would just be another energy bleed. I use straight cold in Calgary and happy with the product of my unit.
I threw on a pressure gauge and adjustable valve on the water input keeping it @ 70-75psi and never looked back with any problems. Last edited by ckmullin; 03-05-2013 at 08:56 PM. |

![]() yeah fix the pressure with a booster pump and practice smart ro/di use. flush before and after. bypass resin until ro output is low.
i checked my unit after i was halfway done filling my new tank. it read 0 TDS after the ro membrane and that's in Calgary too. |

![]() Im eyeing this unit here as it is local to me and a great price
https://maxwaterflow.3dcartstores.co...mps_c_146.html By the looks of it there are high and low pressure switch options What should I do about those? Would this just make the pump run "on demand" with these? Im hoping for a relatively autonomous solution. Thanks! |

![]() If you are stuck on that co because it is local and you have a 100gpd RO unit then this is what you need.
https://maxwaterflow.3dcartstores.co...es-_p_554.html You never said how many gpd unit you have. There are other units on that page u linked to that would match your gpd ro if you do not have a 100gpd. The units come with instructions and they will turn on and off automatically when the pressure drops/rises. You just need a 110V outlet under the sink, or wherever your ro unit is located |
