Correct. Permeate pumps only work on systems with a pressurized storage tank

Some examples

You can get a 20 Gal Rubbermaid Brute Trash can (FDA approved for food contact) at Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-Commercial-Products-BRUTE-20-Gal-Grey-Vented-Plastic-Outdoor-Trash-Can-with-Lid-For-Restaurants-Offices-Warehouses-Commercial-Environments-2031186/100211748 If...

Now, if you want to up your game (fill the tanks in a fraction of the time, send much less water down the drain, and fill the tanks with water that is more pure), add a permeate pump with a high pressure auto shut off valve.

So you'll want a tank, tank valve, and quick connect wye or tee fitting

That will work fine. Your auto shut off valve will turn your system off when the pressure in all tanks reaches about 66% of whatever your feed water pressure is. Bobby hit on a good point above. Have you considered mounting a float valve in your kettle rather than using pressurized storage...

If you want to continue with treatment of tapwater w/ chlorine/chloramine via carbon, we can help you with a more cost effective solution.

Yes - TDS meters are robust and not at all like the much more troublesome pH meters. We stock both handheld and inline TDS meters and they all work well. We find that inline meters tend to be used more often, while handheld TDS meters tend to get tossed in a drawer and forgotten. For small...

Outstanding!

Yep! Far from the best for use as a prefilter like you are using it, but just fine for a post filter/taste and odor filter.

If a pressure tank can be avoided, best to do so... and mount a float in your kettle as you mention. You'll get water out of the RO faster, the permeate will be more pure, and you'll send less water down the drain. If however, the user also wants the RO to feed an ice maker, or a refig, or a...

That is the purpose of the taste and odor filters you see on all systems that have a pressurized storage tank. They are simple in/out filters that contain GAC.

Some suggestions for you on your new RO system: 1. Add a pressure gauge add on kit and an inline TDS meter. Without these two you are flying blind re understanding system performance and when to change your membrane. 2. When it comes time to change your prefilters (the three across the...

An RV filter typically contains GAC (carbon) or GAC plus KDF. These media will remove the chlorine, and perhaps some of the chloramine from your water, which will improve the taste. An RO system includes a filter similar to an RV filter, but it also includes an RO membrane. Speaking loosely...

There are a few general things that will shorten the life of an RO membrane, and the presence of chlorine in the water that reaches the membrane certainly is one of them. This can be avoided by replacing your carbon block when you should, and making sure your carbon block is sized correctly for...

Call your water utility and ask them what the water hardness is.

So the question is, what are the units associated with the "14"? If the units are mg/L or ppm... the water is really soft If the units are grains per gallon (gpg), then the water is very hard.

Feed softened water to the RO

Our $5000 model might be a tad bit of overkill for you.

Alkalinity/bicarb through the roof! Feed softened water to an RO.
