I would change out the water for new water completely, using RODI to mix it this time. That will remove any water contaminants like pesticides or...
Get a spectrapure, and hook up a T and ball valve after the carbon block. That way the really nasty stuff gets caught but it still has a good taste,...
Its a combination of size, swimming habits, eating habits, and psyche.
The tank will almost always kill the membrane and your DI quicker because of the constant on/off switching you'll get.
Matt, this is awesome! But I thought you were going to have less time to do this stuff now, not more!

LMFAO. I've built and upgraded my own systems since I'm 7; I have no intention of turning to a locked down prison....oh, sorry, Mac. There isn't an...
I have a powerhead that turns on a couple times a day for about a minute. I use it for the dual purposes of stirring up the crud in the fuge and...
You only need one pressure gauge, on the incoming water.
The pressure gauge I'm not sure how you would install. It might require drilling the RO housing. As for buying new prefilters and an ASO from...
