i bought a rodi system now what?

[rapture]

so I took the plunge and bought myself an rodi 90gpd system, its a 6 stage system with duel tds meters , do what do I do with it? I don't have any spare little rooms in the house to use as a mixing or even a holding station. I could put it in the garage but here in Arizona the garage sometimes reaches over 110 in the summer time. and I don't think I should spend the money to put a chiller on a mixing station or even a holding tank.

Do you have room under a sink or someplace to hook the unit up? You would run line to a 5 gallon buck and mix as you need. I had a heck of a time re doing my laundry room for mine and the wife was not pleased at all

Put it in your laundry room, under the sink in the kitchen, guest bath etc. Keep some 32 gallon brutes on wheels in the garage and when its time to mix water bring them in and mix 30 gallons at a time.

I keep my MaxCap UHE in the garage here in Phoenix with no issues. the previous RO and RO/DI units were also out there too.
The MaxCap goes into a 23 gallon ATO storage Rubbermaid recycling can mounted next to it which feeds my ATO in the sump in the house 35 feet away via 1/4 tubing through the wall then behind baseboards to the sump. I store water change water in five 5G drinking water jugs and a couple of the blue cube style drinking water jugs which stack nicely in acorner out of the way and mix them in a Rubbermaid can on wheels when I am ready to do a change.

Rat, dont you have a booster bump on yours? Not sure if it would matter or not...

You can also get those quick detach / attach connectors for like the faucet sink. Just turn it on to make what you need and disconnect and put away... I've got mine split off from my washing machine cold water line and the waste water hose going into the drain for the clothes washer.

Yes the UHE has a booster but that doesn't make any difference where you place the system, the temperature ranges are the same.
The MaxCap is a pretty beefy, heavy system and i wouldn't want to use it portable myself like with a faucet adapter.

It is mounted on the wall above the laundry sink and is fed from the washing machine cold water supply via a brass garden hose wye with the individual ball valves. I leave it pressurized all the time since it fills an ATO container but you could shut the ball valve on the wye too if you don't have it hooked up to fill storage.

Also when I had the regular 90 and then 180 GPD dual membrane MaxCaps, I added a drinking water kit that fed a drinking water faucet at the kitchen sink, another at the laundry sink, the cold wate rin the door of the frig and the icemaker. All of that was isolated from the DI by a check valve as Spectrapure shows in their drawings. I could have pressurized RO water or make DI directly from the RO membrane avoiding the TDS creep present in drinking water pressure tanks.
