Thanks for the replies. How much is "Adding a big excess of lime helps this process along "? I have been adding about 2 teaspoons /gallon as I fill the buckets, then let it sit 24 hrs without stirring then use the clearish white liquid and discard the percipitate. I'm getting about a 1/4 inch+ of semi solids or powder on the bottem, a good share of it appears to be undisolved lime but it has pulled all or most of the color down with it. I'm discarding the last 2 inches of water and the residue. Is this enough Lime? Should I be stirring it once or twice during the first 12 hrs or so? or just let it set and percipitate out?
I did hook up a small RO unit 2 days ago but it only meets half my minimal RO needs and I'm also concerned it'll go bad a few days as my water deteriates. Right now my main (failing) RO unit is acting like a prefilter for the small unit. My failing RO unit is still cutting my TDS's down by more than half before the water enters the small RO. My product water out of the small RO has a TDS of 40 ppm.
Randy was that copper reduction from parts per MILLION down to parts per BILLION? That's a very impressive drop, does it do the same for phosphate?
