Horerczy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Also wtf is that ghetto crap? Fill up a few hundred gallon holding tank of water and a float valve and then fill the 5 gallon jugs from it all at one time instead of inviting screw up.. So you're saying he should set up a tank to hold hundereds of gallons of 0TDS water so he can invite TDS creep, someone to drop something in the water and contaminate the entire supply, and to trust a float valve not to fail for extremely long periods of time. Not to mention all that wet water would get dry. Link to comment
ndrobey Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Why is an RO unit even hooked up to hot water? Just have it hooked up to the cold water valve to make it idiot proof. Link to comment

AZDesertRat Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 5 gallons is not a bad quantity. The TDS creep passes in the first pint to quart or so of water so would be diluted pretty good in 5 gallons. I would still use two of three float switches and a solenoid valve though versus a float valve not only for reliability but also so you can set the distance between OFF and ON such that the system would have to drop 10 gallons or whatever befoe it cycles on again. In my 23 gaoon Rubbermaid ATO container I set my ON float switch 12" below the OFF switch which ended up being 11 measured gallons before it coms back on. TDS creep is never an issue. Link to comment
