| Well I got my RO/DI and ATO hooked up and running today. Good yes, however frustration still exists. It looks like the pump out performs the RO unit. I guess, better to much water than to little. Curious to hear how ya'll have set up you units. |

I'm not sure why that would be frustrating. No recirculating pressure pump here. At various times through the day, the city pressure at my place is good and other times not. I just live with it, cause on average it makes enough water for my needs. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Do you know your incoming pressure, I think RO/DI's need like 50-60 psi to operate, you may need to turn up your house pressure. I live in North Ogden and I have plenty of pressure, maybe your regulator needs to be adjusted. ------------- The time we enjoy wasting isn't wasted time!!!! |

| Sorry I kinda checked out on this post. Everything is great and running fine. What a wonderful thing to not have to haul water around. I had to throttle back the pump. The frustration was that if I had been willing to wait a few more weeks I could have gotten the pump BRS sales specifically for my RO unit. |
