If you are using the post filter drinking water filter, that can actually add TDS back to the water. For reef use remove the final carbon stage and measure right after the DI.

Go for 75 gpd membrane. It is different from the 100gpd and works better (higher rejection rate).

WPG is really useless. In this case those 400's with Lumenarcs are enough for you to grow anything you want IMO.

There is such a thing as a valve on the waste water line. It is a variable flow restricter valve. I use one that allows me to adjust my waste based on seasonal temps and varying pressure.

The "C" in CPVC has nothing to do with copper. It stands for Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride. CPVC is rated for use with hot water.

Hey Russ,

Do you have instructions for sanitizing an RO System? I have an 8 year old Spectrapure system that I have never sanitized. The instructions do not mention anything about that.

I don't know what your rates are in Indiana, but here in Vegas those 4 lights would cost $9.20/month based on 12 hours a day of lighting.

You may want to check your RO membrane. That is only about 83% rejection. Your DI's will be wearing out very fast.
