Tonight has been a complete and total exercise in frustration.
For starters, I'm still getting jerked around by Neptune about these mismatching pH probes. I've calibrated the dumb things 3 times in the last 48 hours, on separate ports, on the same port...etc and they're still off from one another, by at least .1 usually .12. Now Neptune wants to call on Monday so we can setup a phone/remote session so we can calibrate them together. I flat out told the rep, "look I've calibrated these things 3 times in 2 days and I'm out of calibration solution at this point". You'd think they could just send me a new probe and we could be done with this whole ordeal as the third one will tell me which one of the two I have is bad, but noooooooooooo. So far, not so great for Neptune's customer service. Either way we're off to a pretty miserable start with the "new Apex" which I should be thrilled about after spending a grand on.
Next let's talk about RO/DI. Adam
@Battlecorals gave me some great ideas for setting up a degas system and as a thank you, I placed the order I did with him, because of the money it will save me in DI resin. I think that was only fair. So I get all my new filters and resin in, everything I need, get everything rerouted, running 2 membranes in series like I always have turn the thing on and BOTH the seals on the sediment containers start leaking.
No big deal, I'll just pull the whole unit down again, take it outside and torque those things down with the wrench.
Hook things back up, still leaking. No big deal, I'll just pull the whole thing down again, take it outside, pull out both gaskets, put some lithium grease on both of them, put them back in, summon my inner Thor and snug those things up with the wrench and take it back inside and hook it back up.

So I have 3 new o-rings on order as well as 3 "backup" canisters. In the meantime the unit is just hanging over a spare tank, dripping water into it as I HAVE to make some RO/DI tonight as my topoff has been empty for about 30 hours now.
So outside of wanting to chuck both my Apex and my Spectrapure RODI unit out the window, everything is going just great tonight. I'm going to get a stiff drink...
Mags are a bit of a rarity in the U.K. and when you do see them they are never purples sadly. I'd love one at some stage. Your clowns have a similar pattern to mine. These 2 have been with me almost 7 years.
