RO/DI question

[BullyBee]

Does having an RO/DI set up that is connected to my sink rated at 100gpd mean it’s gonna take like 15 minutes to fill up a 5 gallon bucket??

No.... you're looking at roughly an hour and 15 minutes to make 5 gallons give or take, a lot of this depends on your water temperature as well as incoming PSI.

You're looking at just over 1 Gallon every 15 minutes... however if it has a 4:1 ratio you will have used 5 gallons of water in 15 minutes

I’ll buy an ATO instead. It’s for a FOWLR, I figured it would be cool because it could help against micro algae but never mind.....maybe i can use it for my ATO water?

Yup, takes a looooongggg time to make RODI water... however once your tank is filled with it you typically use it for ATO and WC mixing and you don't usually need water that quickly for either. Typically you store it then use as needed

i don’t knoowwwwwwww. If I’m changing my water once a week and I’m changing 10-20 gallons it will take over an hour. I mean if 1/8 water changes were ok then it would be fine. I have a 40gallon breeder

What if I filled a bucket with water and used a pump to pump the water from one bucket to another. Can I just use any pump?

My 75gpd system takes about 4 hours to fill a 5 gallon bucket. It's a 2:1 system, but I have low pressure.

Pressure can really affect production. 5 gallons for me is 47 minutes.
