    What pump now???

    My Rio 2500 return pump could have ruined my day. I got it out of the sump almost the second it started sparking and flames shooting up though. I have had no other results as far as I could tell. Water tests are all o.k. but now I have to order another pump. Can you please tell me which one...

    With mine it is both ways. Drinking water from faucet on side and tank water from a line under the sink with a valve and enough line to put down in whatever you are going to mix the water in. Mines a 35g trashcan. Holds 25g of water and my ro/di system puts out about 3gph. Takes a while but...

    PLEASE read alot more before you just take his word as gospel. Plant life is not the cure all. If you do not do maint. plant life is not going to fix all your problems. Before you get started (INHO)spend the extra money and get a ro/di system (off e-bay for $100-$150) it will save you alot of...
