Hi everyone,
I have a new RO/DI system coming in later this week and was going over the hookup process and was wondering if I could run both the cold and hot water up to the unit using a mixing valve to regulate the temperature. My cold water line is always between 45 and 50 degrees in the winter and these filters run optimally at 70 or so.
Because I already have an Everpure filter system for my domestic water, the RO/DI unit will be strictly used for my aquarium(s). I have read one of the other threads about coiling 30 feet of tubing in a bucket and tossing in a heater. Using the mixing valve technique to me sounds easier and cheaper, but I'm not sure if I would be introducing some other problems with the addition of the hot water. Does anyone have some comment or suggestions?
Thanks,
Bruce
