I Pondered a Good Idea!

Nothing much but for a cheap reservoir for ro/di water (at least this is what im gunna do) is buy two gatorade water dispenser things for sports, one for dirty and one for clean. I make my ro in my basement so i have to lug buckets up and down. It would be cool to be able to press a button to fill a bucket full of ro or do easily be able to dispose of the waste water and fill it in a bucket with a hold of a button in stead of siphoning it out every time its full (im a beginner ro/water user so im doing stupid things for now. O ya and the top of the canister can easily be drilled and it comes with a lid so a lot less evaporation. Please post how you store your ro, if you use powerheads, and if you pre-mix the salt in that tank. And how big the tank is!

thanks,
ryan

EDIT: or im sure theres generic brands of these that isnt the obnoxious orange and has a huge gatorade logo on them but you get the point ;D

and the tops plastic so it can easily be drilled for the tubes, cords ext

 

Good idea indeed...where would you go about acquiring one of those from?

 

im sure walmart or target sells them

 

I was going to use one of those for a top off reservoir. they can be kinda pricey tho, you would be better off with a couple rough neck trash cans. just put them on a stand thats a couple inches taller than whatever container you want to use for transporting water around and plumb in some PVC and ball valves.

If you add in a big enough pump and plumb it right you can move fresh water from one container to a salt mixing one where it can be mixed with the same pump, then transferred to wherever you need it to go (the salt mix or the fresh water) with a hose.

I have 1 pump with a 3' hose on it. I normally leave it in the saltwater container to mix the salt. I also use this same pump to transfer water from the ro/di container to the salt container.
As you can see in the pic I can fill 5 gallon buckets just by turning a valve. The other pvc you see going horizontal are going to go to my new sump setup in the basement so I dont have to carry 5 gallon buckets anymore Cant wait till thats done!

 

Thats so cool, thats what im goin for

 

Thanks!

 

Circa, you might try Sam's Club. They usually have everything.
