We all know we are most successful using RO/DI in our systems due to the 0 TDS and silicates. What kind of ro/di system do you utilize, what’s your waste water ratio and how is your rodi hooked up. What is you schedule for making water and how do you store it.
I have been in the hobby quite some time now. Due to crazy work schedule and life I have taken it upon my self to fully automate my RO/DI production system. I have a Melevs Reef 150 GPD RO/DI system the Ratio is 1gallon rodi to 2 gallons of waste water. Through my apex with (2) solenoids and (2) optical sensors on my 65 gallon drum tank I fully automate production. The system turns on when tank 65G tank gets below 40 gallons from low water optical sensor. Flush solenoid the turns on for 1 min then switches over to fill solenoid. it then fills up for about 6 hrs to fill back up to 65 gallons where high water optical sensor shuts off production. I have another safety in programming if runs longer than expected solenoid will shut off. I also have a float switch inside the tank JIC solenoid fails to shut off. (WE ALL KNOW WE HAVE FLOODED THE AREA AT LEAS ONCE My waste water line is run over into the basement slop sink where it is secured in place.
Clearly this is all not necessary but part of this hobby is always tinkering and I love to tinker and build stuff.
