Mixing Station successes appreciated!!!

Glenner’sreef · May 2, 2022

Presently, I have a Spectrapure 5 stage RODI system in our laundry room. Has worked great for years.
Roll water container down the hall, fill the container, remove 20 or so gallons of fresh water and fill 2 ATO reservoirs under my tanks with a 5 gallon bucket. continue filling large container. After container is full add salt. Vacuum both tanks. Proceed with changing water in my display and frag tank.
A lot of steps to say the least. I know a mixing station would cut that down to just turning valves.
1. Outside in a shed seems to be the “ideal” place for this station, really! Plumbing could go right into our attic and reach both tanks for fresh and salt access.
Question:
I live in Arizona, things get hot here besides humans!!! Would the RODI hold up in 100+ degree weather for 2-3 months annually? The same question applies to a chiller. Thanks.

Here’s an old thread about rodi units and heat. Hope it helps!

Does heat affect a RODI filter?

I was just curious if a hot room can affect an RODI filter. I live in Las Vegas and was thinking about setting up my system in the garage but am not sure if that is a good idea or not. It can get over 100 deg. in the garage. So would it be better to set the filter up inside the house???
