I had a great time also. Can't wait till next month.
I felt bad I couldn't drink that Margarita though. First time I tried one of those. Too salty, I know it sounds weird coming from one of us. Also big thanks to the Hero's of the night, just being there was a good thing.

Lonnie,
Thanks for having us over tonight! The tank looks great (for a softy tank ). I really like the setup you have on that system...maybe you can help me set my tanks up with plumbing when the time comes

Thanks for having us. Wish we could have gone for the eats but it was getting past Grace's bedtime.
I was hoping Grace would start bugging her mother about getting the tank up and running, but now for some reason she wants braces and a boyfriend. |

The ro/di unit is hooked to a 7 gallon storage container that sits above the sump. Then when the sump gets low a Float turns the pump on that sends water from the container to the Kalk reactor (Very slowly) then in the sump were the water enters from the tank.

No there is a float valve also on the 7 gallon storage container.
I think I use about 5-7 gallons a day on top off so how ever long it takes my RO unit to fill the container back up, after it tops my tank off is how long it runs.

I think the thought there is, Float Switches are prone to fail / stick open. Which means your RO/DI unit will run none stop and can overflow the system.
But that is just a guess. Never know what Farmer is truly thinking. |

That is the whole reason I only run a 7 gallon bucket for top off, and it is only really about 5.5 gallons when full to the float valve. This way if the float switch in the sump ever sticks for any reason it will only put around 5.5 gallons back to the tank.
There is a maxijet 900 that pumps the water to the tank, and they usually will get to hot out of water and shut off till you unplug them and let them cool. My float switch in the sump also has a back up float switch in case it was to stick it would have a 2nd chance to kill power to the top off before it added the 5 gallons to the tank.
