Ebay is a good source to start since there are so many of them. If you are planning on using a SSR, make sure that your PID is made to control a SSR. From what I have seen, they either do relay or both relay and SSR. I bought the cheapest ones I could find and they seem to do the job, at least...

I agree that if the only water you consumed was RO water that it would hurt you. I said that in my last post. I also do agree, there are no health worries since we all get water from other sources. That is what I already said and I even apologized for not stating it earlier. So according to...

If you only drink RO water and you don't get your water from any other source or in any other form, it can hurt you. The reason is due to osmosis and this is how any living cell gets it's water and nutrients. I didn't mean to start anything or scare anyone, but that is how cells work. I should...

That's a little over kill to put a 5mµ behind a 5mµ . Technically anything larger than 5mµ should get stuck at the first one and everything passes right through the second one. My RO/DI setup was 5mµ sediment, 0.5mµ sediment, activated carbon, 75gpd RO membrane, DI resin. It worked great and...

Obviously the cleaner the water is going in to the membrane, the longer it will last. It will work with any kind of water, that's the point of the system. You can run saltwater through it and it will work. That's what they were designed to do. Just make sure that you have sediment filter(s) and...

These guys sell great systems, RO/DI Systems. I bought mine for my aquarium through them. Also, depending on the RO membrane, you may need to get a booster pump if you want to make water faster. A 125gpd membrane on a 30psi house system will make around 2g an hour. It all depends on the membrane.

That's why it depends on how clean your water is before the cartridge. Most people can get away with using 2 sediment filters (a 5 and a 1 or a .5), a carbon filter, and then a DI cartridge and that is probably overkill (I use this setup for my brew without the DI and a RO/DI for my aquariums)...

Correct. A RO system will remove almost everything. If you add a DI resin filter to it, it will remove 99.99% of everything. There are some minerals that the RO membrane cannot remove. It all depends on the water. I know some people have has success just using a carbon filter and a DI resin...

I just got my 35g from watertanks.com. It was $88 shipped and took about 4 days. They told me 3-4 weeks so I am happy. I know that the threads for the top is not a bolted down piece like a lot of the others so all you have to do is buy a pipe flange gasket and get a rubber stopper for the...

I think I may have a few around. If I do, I can do them for $20 each plus shipping. They are like the ones in the link above (the nipple shanks) but 3.5 inches.
