RO/DI Setup

[Kasey]

Not really a DIY, but I'm setting the system up myself.

6 Stage 100gpd RO/DI with two outputs and a small bladder tank, permeate pump, pressure gauge and TDS meter.

This was my Christmas present to myself....

I just need a couple more plumbing parts and plan on having things running by the end of the week.

Looks good so far.

the only suggestion I have right now is that don't turn on the valve yet

kasey... where is your bladder system? i'm trying to figure out what to do with my RO. its under my sink in the second bathroom and my tank is in the family room a few feet away. trying to figure out how i can have the ro keep a full 5 gal instead of me having to watch the 2 5gal tanks i have and make sure i dont overflow them.

His 3 gal bladder tank is on the first picture, the white cylinder on top of the RO/DI.

The 3 gal bladder tank holds about 2.5 gal, and it is the most common one. There are larger tanks, but they usually is a pain to hide under the counter.

I have 3 of these bladder tanks connected together, but that's because I use them for cooking/drinking and sometimes needs several gallon at a time for soup etc.

You want to mount it as close to the point of dispensing as possible, and has a inline carbon filter if you want it for drinking/cooking. For reef, you don't need the inline carbon filter.

Yup, the tank sits on top of the shelf with my drinking spigot next to it.

It is a 4 gallon bladder tank that holds 3.2 gallons of water.

My system has been hooked up for a couple of weeks now and has been working great!

As dupaboy does, I think I might add another tank for extra storage since I use this for reef and drinking.

What tanks are you filling that you risk overflowing? What not just get a float valve?
