    Typhoon RO/DI -- your kiddin me!!!!!!

    So basically the waste water has some of the "pollutants" that you were trying to filter out in it. So my theory holds up I would think :notsure:

    Typhoon RO/DI -- your kiddin me!!!!!!

    The only way I could see reusing it and putting it through the system would be like you said, pressurize it. Use a water pump!!!! OH YEAH PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! well not really. The water that comes out of it isn't just "tap water" it is.... kinda. Think about it. If it makes 1 gallon of RO for...

    90 Gallons of Water

    The overflow box will "siphon" water out of the tank and then i'll have a tube/pipe running down into the sump which will be inside of my stand. Then a line will run from the return pump (Quiet One) back up into my tank. I'm going to make a "box" that will cover all these pipes up and also...

    Tbirdy: I'm looking for a viable excuse to get one of these RO/DI units because I too did not like how much water was wasted at all... it really bothered me, but using the water in the washing machine is an awesome idea since it would be used anyway.... how did you go about this? Do you turn on...

    red / rusty algae

    Combination of both, but mostly the window. You have to also be careful with windows because they can result in large fluctuations of temperature throughout the day, especially one that is in line with the sun rising/setting

    Algae explosion!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm new at this so take the suggestion as a grain of salt. I'm thinking since the new lights are more intense that's what caused it so maybe turn them off for a couple days (if possible) let the algae go away then turn them on for more extended periods each day until everything gets use to them...
