Title: using hot water tap to fill BARRELS via DI
Post by: dazmond on December 05, 2010, 09:55:52 am

as above!as anyone filled tank/barrels up via DI to take to work with them from their hot water tap at home?


is it ok to do this?

does it affect the DI RESIN purifying using hot water?

i was thinking this would minimize the risk of jets/hose freezing up and keep the hose a bit more supple.the water will not be hot when i get to work but better than stone cold!!

any of you guys tried this?


best wishes to you all

it wont make any difference dazmond,  just fill up and go, but cover the barrel in van so they dont lose heat

That's what I've been doing at the end of the day empty tank then blow out with a compressor my pump and twin dis ,next morning fill tank with hot water from house this way it doesn't matter how cold it gets at night there is no water in my van to freeze  , I also blow out the hose reels. This might be a good idea for everyone ditch the ro and go di only til the cold weather passes
