Ya LolOh....now makes sense..LOL
I an also in CA but I skip the bucket and just ran a srtaight drip line off of my brine line there are like 30 1 g per hour drippers spread all over my planters in the backyard for the brine. I guess I should mention my RODI unit is installed on the back patio under my patio cover. I live only a mile from the beach so it rarely gets below 50°f or above 90°f. I have the greenest yard on the block LOL. I am however considering adding a brine reservoir with a pump to alieviate the back pressure on the brine line.@PizzaIan339 lots of specific questions which as pointed out would depend on your utility rates.
I'm in California and I just bought my own RODI unit (used to run to the LFS). I'm filling up outside and running the waste water into a bucket and just dumping that on my lemon tree and other fruit trees.
Lol, they're still answering you with $$. As someone else said, most RODIs waste about three gallons for every gallon of filtered water they produce. This will depend on your water pressure, and I got to almost 1 gallon waste per 1 gallon of filtered when I added a booster pump.Typo sorry I meant how much to make 5 gallons
20 gallons of tap water will produce 5 gallons of filtered.Ok thanks. I have another question how much water would it take total to make 5 gallons of RODI water?
Water temperature is also critical.What they don’t tell you is water pressure is huge when it comes to efficiency - the amount of waste water goes up big time when you go under 60/70 psi. We are on a well so rodi is a must but we only get 40 psi and a booster pump made a huge difference ($125)
Oops this was meant for the xmas present questuin of the day LOLI'm the primary bread winner so I just go buy what I want. Christmas presents are just a way for the family to spend my money on things I've been on the fence about LOL.
It will work but you will pay more for the cartridges since you have to buy the ones from aquaticlife. You are better off money wise if you go with one with standard size canisters, that way you can buy the filters you want and not be tied to theirs. Theirs say they are 5 micron and I personally don't go over 1 micron. Whatever you decide to buy, if it doesn't come with a tds meter then buy a handheld one. Should be able to get one for around $20 (USD) or less.RODI Here is the RODI unit I was planning on getting. Is the one fine?
There are no cloramines in my water as well.
I understand but I have a nano so I will not have to replace them very often plus I need to move and disassemble it fast.It will work but you will pay more for the cartridges since you have to buy the ones from aquaticlife.

Where do you live? I bet you can find a used RODI unit (with the better/universal canisters) and then just replace the filters.I understand but I have a nano so I will not have to replace them very often plus I need to move and disassemble it fast.
saltwateraquarium.com has some just a little above $100... maybe you can ask him to send you the $ and you can pay the rest?I live in Massachusetts but I can’t go used as a relitive asked for a link and would get me anything under $100. And I really don’t want to have him go through the haste of used. If there is a better one under$100 then I would consider it though!
Ok I can check them out are there any in particular?saltwateraquarium.com has some just a little above $100... maybe you can ask him to send you the $ and you can pay the rest?
