    After you make your RODI, do you treat it with anything (buffer/prime) before adding to the reservoir?

    Mine goes right into the tank with nothing else added. I'm sure some people add kalk to their water.

    Two of my tanks have small containers with float valves that are hooked up to the RO/DI. From there my ATO system pumps it into the tanks as needed. No buffers or anything, but I think the key is that it is a small volume of water with good turnover.
