My new mixing station

[nsconductor]

So, after 6 months of collecting stuff, and a travel schedule at work that is out of control, I tool some time to start building my mixing station to support my 120 build that is about to happen. I'll strt a separate thread for that.

Just a couple of pics to show progress today.

BRS 5 stage RODI with booster pump should do 75 GPS. A 40 gallon tank on top for fresh RODI water and a 40 gal tank on bottom for salt water.

More to come in the next few days.

Looking great

Looks real good! Great start for your build. I wonder if the capacity will increase over 75 gal/day with the booster pump? I have a 100gal/day with the BRS dual inline DI chambers. My normal water pressure in my garage is about 90psi. At 80psi my filter makes 130ish gal a day of 0 TDS. With the higher pressure my RO membrane still puts out 1-2 TDS after 2 years use and have only exhausted about 20% of the di resin in the first chamber after 1 year.

looking good!!! Mine is set-up on the laundry room, couldn't setup as you did on the garage because high temperatures on it since isn't insulated. I'm wondering where did you get the water containers from...
FWIW I gonna try to setup the waste line to an out of the house tank so I can use that waste water for something else, I have design my RODI to have two membranes and two flown restrictors as well as using an booster pump, what I'm concern about now is if i had plug my PSI gauge the right way (output of one of the membranes waste line) since is not giving me the correct pressure reading...
however, after the readings on the inline TDS meter I had checked the water quality with a handheld TDS meter and it shows .02ppm so in that part I'm thinking I'm ok with it. Thanks for sharing!

That's a good question, and I'm anxious to find out. my water pressure is miserable, less than 40 PSI, so the booster pump was a no brainer.

I got them from US Plastics. When I started down this road, I saw them in a sticky and just ordered from there. Tanks were reasonable, shipping was outrageous. Not to mention the 6 week lead time. The quality is very good and I have no complaints about the tanks, but I should have done more research on sourcing them.

Add the 150 adapter and it let's more water pass through and works a lot faster. Just the little 150 gpd regulator is very cheap and you already have the booster son it will work a lot Moe efficient.
Make sure and add a float valve to cut off or one day you forget and get as all flood

I have mine in the Laundry Room as well. I use my waste line to fill the Washer, fill water jugs for watering outside/inside plants. It helped justify the expense with my wife

I had a productive day today working on my mixing station.

3 way valve so I can go to a bucket or to the top freshwater tank coming out of the DI chamber. I thought this was important as it will allow me to flush the system after a period of no use easily.

Freshwater tank float valve connection.

Freshwater tank plumbing. In addition to a ball valve to hold the water in the tank I built a manifold. To the right is a hose barb to easily allow me to get fresh water for misc use. In the middle is a gravity feed to the saltwater tank on the bottom, and on the left is. Gravity feed to fill up the ATO container. You can see the ATO container in the first photo.

Saltwater tank plumbing. Straight up out of the Mag 2 is the recirculating loop. To the left will be saltwater transfer to the sump for water changes. Still need to finish that part.

Recirculating loop into the top of the saltwater tank. I drilled the tank and used a unseal to secure the plumbing. This is also where the freshwater is gravity fed into this tank.

Waste line out of the RODI.

I will hard plumb the feed water eventually.

Cranked it up and the booster pump is giving me 90 PSI.

As advertised, 0 TDS out of the system. FYI it was reading 2 PPM out of the RO membrane before the DI resin.

Still a little to do, but no leaks so far. Not a bad day!

Looking more better and professional look! I bet with this it will no reason to not keep going on the water changes!
Just a couple question if you don't mind to help me, just want to verify I didn't plug something wrong LOL!!!!
PSI gauge (connected to one of the waste line coming out from a membrane) I'm thinking I should had plug it after the "Y" connector where the two waste line meets (if I'm right) is not reading what it supposes to have, 20psi?? Idts
Then... TDS inline meter
Water IN sensor: after the ASOV coming out from the membranes (after reading I think it should be plug there to monitor the life of the membranes)
Water OUT sensor: located after the DI cartridge
Booster pump: is connected to the main supply line and the pressure switch is after the output of the pump, I'm I right?
Thank you again for your help!
