Ro/di

[neg427]

Im about to purchase a RO/DI unit from some off craiglist. Its a Coralife Pure-Flo II, four canister stye. My wife had asked me if we could set this unit up under the sink, but a fitler faucet for it and use it for drinking water also. I read as much as I could about it and found nothing. Is this possible? Thanks for all your help.

I'm not sure how much volume that model produces, but Mine gives out a constant trickle at best. You may need to buy a seperate holding tank to be able to supply drinking water on demand thru a faucet. I have just scooped a glass or two out of mine, it tastes great

they have pressure tanks that have faucets for your sink. you have to put air in it under the diaphram then even at just a trickle it will pressureize it. You can get them in diffrent sizes.

Thanks tfolke1 and jj harrison for the info. I will get the pressure tank for my sink. Is it something i can purchase at the local home depot? And thanks again.

Just be sure you are only drinking the RO water not the RO/DI

Mine has a switch, when I want Ro water I just flip the switch. Ro/Di water takes out too much. There is a thead here somwhere on this subject, I will try to find it. here is one, there are many more if you want to do a search on it https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/299053/ro-di-consumption
