    I clean it out every couple of months, but you don't need to per-say.

    Saltwater & RO/DI station.

    The hoses are on the bottom to make cleaning easy. When they are empty, I rinse them out and drain it through the bottom. There's a pump circulating the water.

    This remote activates the pumps in the saltwater or RO/DI so I don't have to wait forever for it to fill my container.

    Why? Can it cause problems with the dissolving? I always warm up the RO/DI water i use for refilling my tank when evaporating is going on though :)
