Anybody in BK got extra ro/di water?

I'm filling up a 120g and it's slow going with my ro/di filter. If you have extra filtered water I'll gladly take it off your hands. LMK. Thanks

What is your source water pressure? With a 100gpd RODI, it should only take 1.25 days.

Maybe you need a booster pump

For water pressure I'm averaging about 60. I know that's low, right?

Hey Nigel, the optimal water pressure is 75-80 psi. 60 is low but it's on the middle/higher side of low. So it's not horrible. My pressure out of the tap is 40 psi and the RODI drips one drip at a time. Can you use a booster pump? It would help, but probably not mandatory. Once you have your tank filled, the only time you'll need any more RODI water is for evaporation topoff and water change source water. Needless to say, that isn't a huge amount, but it does amount to a number of gallons every week.

Hope this helps,
Russ
