Brute garbage can

[TommyP]

What's up Mr?

So my girlfriend is on her way to pick up a 32 gallon brute garbage can I want to use to make my rodi water. I also got the dolly that comes with it. Figured it would be easier to move around the garage if it was in my dads way. I am doing a water change tonight, then going to fill it with water. Anything I need to do beside just wipe it down and get any dust out before I fill it? If so, what?

Also. I got an auto shut off valve. I have no idea how to hook this up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just rinse the pail , if u really want you can wash it with vinegar , and for the auto shut off , there are instructions online for how to install it onto the rodi just do a quick google and then for the fkoat you just drill a hole in the can where u want it and the pure water line runs right into that

Yeah I just checked out youtube real quick after I posted that. Seems easy enough. I'll just rinse the pail before I start. Thanks!

Really stupid question,

I have the unit hung on the inside wall of the garage. Right outside the garage door is the hose nozzle I use to connect it to for the water source.

The autoshut off valve would stop the water from filling the pail, even if the hose nozzle is still turned on?

I guess this works the same way as the regular nozzles you connect to the hose itself, like when you're washing your car or something and screw it tight?

Yes it will stop even if the water supply is still on thats the point of it so u dont have to watch it filling i plan on setting mine up the same spot you did

Ok so I have the brs one but it looks different than in the video because I have a pressure guage and Tds meter. From the pictures, where does the auto shut off valve get installed?
I'm doing this now so the faster the reply the better. I appreciate it so much

 

[TommyP]

Anyone? Thanks

If you are talking about the float valve that shuts off water in reservoir when full, it's attached to the end of the rodi output line.

 

[ecvernon]

Which looks like the blue line coming out of the tds meter. Hope that helps

 

[TommyP]

Yeah I know that. I installed the float valve inside the brute can.

I am unsure where to install the auto shut off unit itself according to the pictures I posted. Thanks

 

[ecvernon]

Sorry I misunderstood because in the picture you posted it seems like the auto shut off valve is already installed.

 

[TommyP]

It looks the same but I think that's for the pressure gauge or the in/out Tds meter. Bc I tested it by lifting on the float valve and it didn't stop.

 

[TommyP]

Can anyone take a look at my pictures and see where I would install the auto top off unit. I have the BRS 75 GPD Plus unit it has the pressure guage and inline TDS meter that reads the TDS in and out. Any help would be appreciated.

BUMP!
