s2nhle August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 Are you using this water container for RODI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlem August 5, 2015 Author Share August 5, 2015 Are you using this water container for RODI? oh no. this was just for testing the water coming out. I dont have a container yet. probably will just grab a 20gallon tall or some kind square container that'll fit under the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2nhle August 5, 2015 Share August 5, 2015 whew, I thought you are going to use it. It will make your rodi works all the time and will exhaust filters quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlem August 5, 2015 Author Share August 5, 2015 Where's the water brah! Look at a few post up. you can see water! whew, I thought you are going to use it. It will make your rodi works all the time and will exhaust filters quickly. I'm going to try and fit the biggest container i can under the stand for ATO water. I want to be able to leave for a week or two without refilling. Where's the water brah! Look at the container 2 posts up. There's water in there!

You could see if anyone has any scrap acrylic laying around and make your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might hit up IC for scraps too, but then I dont really know what to do after. I dont have the bonding solution for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezeke1 August 8, 2015 Share August 8, 2015 Good solution going with the small tank for ATO. You can get a small acrylic sheet from Lowes to use as cover if you can't find a canopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 are you not worried about evaporation getting up into your electronics? Or them falling out into your sump/mixing container? Cool trap-door idea, but makes me nervous for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool trap-door idea, but makes me nervous for you. I am very nervous actually, i'm still trying to find a way to seal it off from moisture. as it falling into the sump.. thought about it too, I have about 6-7 screws and the lock is pretty strong, i'm going to add some kind of spring as a back up just incase.

It's an awesome concept, but I'm glad you're thinking about it as well. What happened to your thread about buying an electrical box, did you move past that idea? Something that you could bracket to the studs would be great, just to cover it up. I presume you built your stand, so you have the tools and resources to build a basic box? I think Yauger had an Apex he sold a while ago with a pretty solid box he built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
