3 weeks following Helene we finally have water again!! All the lines have been flushed, we’re under boil advisory, and there’s the potential of clay and other sediment although I think that’s more of a problem in the water supply the city over (which will eventually supply 25% of our water)...
I’m sure a similar question has probably been asked but as a newb to the saltwater world does anyone have container recommendations for holding my rodi water?? I just got my BRS 75gpd unit in the mail today and I see a lot of hobbyists use brute trash cans with float valves etc but I really...
Please great people of R2R, help me in under the differences in the various RODI stages?
What makes one better than the other?
Should I be looking for something in my tap water that would yell me what stage I would need.?
I am new to the hobby, don't even have a tank yet. But I am trying to get...
Hello All,
So my RODI system is a good Commercial 7 phase filtration system that does 300gpd. However, I just had my water tested and my Silicon & Copper are high in my RODI water test. My head is spinning from everything I've read online so I figured I'd try to come here and get a consensus on...
Hello all!
I purchased my first RODI unit a few months ago for my 40 gallon mixed reef. I am on well water in Illinois so I opted for the 5 stage. However, ever since then I have had a crazy diatom outbreak. I have lost a number of corals and the tank (including the surface!) is overrun with...
Stupid question most probably ,but when I flush my ro/di do I have to open the water also that supplier the rodi or it’s flushed thru the drain pipe ?>.< by the water that supplies ro/di I mean this tap in the pic. Because can’t hear any water flushing when I open the flush valve .

I have a brs 7 stage rodi unit along with a several other reactor/filter housings (all the same, standard 10 inch style housings). I ordered a bunch of replacement orings from brs and every single housing leaks now. Brs is working this on thier end but I’m curious if anyone has a source for...
Looking for personal experiences of reefers who started out using tap water in their system and then switched later to RODI. Curious what problems you had before that the RODI fixed, issues you had that were not fixed, or even changes you experienced with your parameters afterwards.
For me...
This might sound like a stupid question to most of you, but I’m looking to buy an RODI system and read that they do like 75-100 gpd. If I have a hose that’s connected to the filter and pumps out much more than that in a day then where does the rest of the water go? I know there’s water that’s...
I have a 30 gallon tank that I am setting up to become a Saltwater Aquarium. I have a good amount of knowledge in freshwater and now am getting into saltwater. I have found a couple RO/DI systems that I like and I am wondering on you guys' opinions.
LiquaGen- 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis &...
This is a really nice RODI system. It's computerized, features automatic on/off through the use of float switches and automatic flush. This extends the life of the filters and improves efficiency. The ratio is 1 gallon RODI to 1 gallon waste water. Typical ratio produces 4 gallons of waste for 1...
So I went to my local saltwater aquarium store and I got some RODI water in my seven gallon container, and when I got home to test it with my meter it reads 150 PPM. I also have some distilled water that I bought yesterday and tested that and it reads 0 PPM so I know my meter is not broken. I'm...
Hello, I just added the brs water save upgrade, a booster pump, and I changed out my di resin and sediment filters on my brs 75gpd 4 stage unit. I used the unit yesterday and the water was coming out at 0 tds and I made a big batch of water. Now today the water is coming out at 3 tds. I’m not...
Hello everyone so I am soon going to purchase an RODI system for underneath my bathroom sink and before I get it I want to know where I should drill the hole for the drain line on the filter. I know putting it straight into the sink is an option but I’d rather have it look tidier. Some people...
Sharing a quick review since I got this in today and hooked up couple points
Quiet near silent can't really hear the unit
Water is clean real clean
Build quality is really well really simple to hookup the unit
I had to use the black connection to run under my sink this is where I was confused...
Hello, my brs 4 stage 75gpd rodi unit started making water that had a tds of 2 ppm last week. I've had the unit for 6 months now and I'm assuming it's time to change out the filters.
I changed the di resin today and it's still producing water with a tds of 1 ppm. I’m pretty sure I packed it in...
Hello I have a 44gallon brute trashcan that holds approximately 40 gallons, I wanna use it to mix saltwater, what pump do people usually use for this set up? Thanks in advance, I'm new to the hobby and also new to reef2reef
Hello,
I recently moved to south florida and bought a house.
I have a well in the back yard for the sprinklers. Because it’s a well I don’t pay for the water. I purchased a TDS meter. I checked my tap water and it’s reading 120. I went outside and tested the well water and it’s 150.
I’m...
