Ro/di?

then i was just being stupid. the way i read it made me wonder how anyone could afford ro water. i thought 98% rejection would give me 2 gallons for every 100. didn't stop to think it was clearing out 98% of the crap from the water....dumb dumb dumb:frustrat: but i see now....

Not dumb at all ... I used to think corals were some kind of plant. It was all new to all of us at one time. Many things are still new to me after a year and a half.
 
do ro/di units really pay for themselves with a high water cost at home? the rejected water amount is crazy from reading the article on this site unless i am reading it wrong. my water bill in the summer watering my lawn (big lawn) is $80.00 on average. just curious?:question: with a 98%rejection rate how much water is rejected just to get 1 gallon of good water?


Hey Knot........you said you were worried about wasting water, well what i do is i have 2 rubbermaid trashcans in my basement and one is for my RO/DI water and the other is for my waste water.........and i use my waster water to water my grass and/or plants, etc......but hey atleast it isnt just going down the drain unused.
 
I think i'm gonna have to invest in one of these units pretty quick, this carrying buckets into the walmart is getting old, and i still have a long way to get to where I need to be.... Oh, and just as a point of reference, I'm paying $.27/gal at the walmart in Seguin Tx.

i was looking at the pure water club site, and the 6 stage unit with tank, its a preorder sale, but for being patient untill they ship, they will send you a free set of filters to go in it... seems like a pretty good deal for 130... wonder if i can slip this by the wife before she totally cuts me off on this hobby...

I wouldnt bet on it:D
I need to go a head and invest in a RO/DI system myself,just got to many pokers in the fire right now.
Maybe the wife will eventually get tired of haulling my buckets to wal-mart and buy it for me:mrgreen: (not holding my breath,cause she WONT haul my water)
 
There is always something to buy for our hobbies. If it isn't an RODI unit it's a new hunting gun, or a new table saw or router. However, I am very happy with the Pure Water filters. I think you will like them as well.
