RODI

Hi there,

 

I used to have a large fish only salt water tank forever ago.  I'm planning to get back into it. This time around I want to invest in rodi system for my water. I did pretty well with tap last time, but this time I want to get into corals.  Tough part for me is I rent and I really don't want to mess with the apartments plumbing. Is there a way to hook the rodi to a powerhead and push water through it?  I'm invisioning going from one bucket to another in the bath tub, draining the waste down the tub. Is this feasible?

NOPE.  

 

I use 5 gallon storage containers and my experience is in a Laundry sink w/ garden hose adapter  ( or bathtub would work ) in case you walk away from project is good idea.  I've forgotten about water being filled a few times and overflow goes to sink drain.  Also need a drain for your rejected RO water membrane

 

You need water line pressure to push water through the tubing to get your RO membrane to work

simplest way in an apartment I can think of would be adding a diverter adapter to toilet or sink cold water line - if they have flexible tube for cold water line vs being hard lined with copper tubing.  Just unscrew add diverter attachment and re-attach flex line.  You can probably get on

OR 

 

Kitchen Faucet aerator with diverter - or Garden Hose adapter
