Hi guys
currently rebuilding my fishroom at the new house, and since I’m planning to upgrade in the next year or so, and incorporate AWC on my current 220 system, I want to upgrade my water production.
I currently have an over/under system with 2 blue barrels- rodi up top gravity feeds the SW barrel, and a pump circulates the salt to mix, and distributes it to various tanks via a hose. I like gravity feed for the RODI since it’s free, and it also lets me replenish my ATO containers via a float switch activated apex controlled relay.
I want to do a 2x upgrade, and have 2 barrels up top for rodi and 2 below for SW.
The top ones will be joined together with 1.5” pvc and uniseals, with a valve to dump into the SW barrels.
the lower SW barrels with be mixed with a manifold pump, and offset about 8” forward compared to the RODI barrels to allow access to drop bags of salt in there.
Anyway- just plans and talk at this point. I don’t recall seeing any Quad blue barrel water stations- anyone have something similar to what I described?
I want to go this route since I already have 5 barrels, and spending $600 on 2 x 100 g vertical tanks is not a smart financial decision.
