    yea, thought you'd like that, to funny.
    pretty much right where you see it in the rec room, i already ran the lines to the circuit breaker box for its own two 20a breakers. the water line is already put in going to the ro/di. the room is on a slab.

    2-20A will be quite ample for your needs. I'm sure you know to split your pumps b/w the two circuits.

    Looks like it's gonna be a fine build.

    pumps are rated at 3.1 amps, both breakers will be set up the same way each one will have a main pump and 2 closed loop pumps. this way in case one pops the tank will still be in operation. if need be there are 2 more spots in the box i can use.
