Salinity dropped

[phatphong]

My calcium reactor leaked and my ATO filled my tank with freshwater and this caused my the salinity to decrease from 1.025 to 1.023. Should I try to bring it back up to 1.025 or just like it at 1.023?

just hold off and next time you add topoff... just mix a little salt in it..

that kind of change isn't going to freak anything out, I wouldn't think...

Ok I'll do that, thanks.

What ATO are you using?

 

[phatphong]

A RODI unit plumped directly to sump with a float valve.

filling an ATO tank can be a pain at times and too frequent for some. I like the peace of mind knowing the ATO can only do 10 gal worth of damage at a time should something fail...

+1 I agree. I only run a 10g tank for my ato and it's never really full. I also have a float sensor in the ato tank to shut off my pump if water level in there gets too low. I use a JBJ

This causes short cycleing of the RO. You will get some TDS from your filter that way.
