Impressive!

Do you have a method to prevent anything freezing up in the sub-zero season?

I’ve used a storage system in a purpose built shed outside before with no insulation at all I just took the pipes in when it was filled up in very cold weather,froze up a couple of times a year only it’s the inlets you need to keep covered depends  where you are in the country but most places that’s overkill for what you need although you certainly won’t freeze up unless you are in the Scottish highlands.

mines 024 straight out of the tap....sometimes i wonder whether i need to use resin at all!

If I had 024 coming out off tap I would buy a 4040 ro and wouldn't use anything else it would last years

I'm out of the RO at 002 with this set up. Softener was a game changer for me, won't need to replace the membrane for a long time

At 002 You could get rid of your resin  vessels. My ro water is around 004 and I have not bothered with resin for 14 years.

Post by: Ortsa on June 08, 2021, 08:12:57 pm
Unfortunately when flushing the membrane some very high TDS water creeps through and takes about 5 minutes to drop down to 002. Probably fine but I'm a bit OCD about it

If you are that worried just take a tds reading from your storage tank, that should set your mind at rest.

It looks like I'm probably wasting money on resin but certainly not salt, my membranes used to last about 6 months
