Hey All,
Trying to pick where to set up my RODI unit.
Conditions:
- I live in an apartment. 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom
- we already PUR filter our water - a carbon filter, IIRC (our public water comes from a fairly polluted river, so they put chloaramines and all kinds of stuff in the water. OK for humans, but my wife still doesn't like it). So, I would prefer the RO bypass thing so we can get RO water when needed.
- My tank will be 55 gallons, 70 gallons with the sump. I estimate total aquarium water usage will be 15-20 gallons/month, or 180-240 gallons per year. (to be honest, I've already considered trying store-bought RO water, or offering a local reefer
I guess the main question is kitchen or bathroom? I am leaning towards putting the RODI unit+ RO holding tank for drinking water under the sink. The Mrs. probably won't have it outside (e.g. to the left or above the sink) because it takes up space and because it will have hoses running everywhere, but we could look at that.
Ref here (but we'll need to find a place to put all the stuff under the sink.
):
If it's put in the bathroom, it seems to me it'd be awkward/weird to have the DI bypass there (assuming there even was the space, which I don't think there is).
What do you think?
