Hello,
I am new hear, and I've used this forum to get up to speed. I recently made a mistake when mixing salt water... having some RODI waste water enter into the mix for just about a minute. I'm wondering if i've contaminated my batch of saltwater.
I use a 40 gallon brute can to mix my saltwater. I use a 4-stage RODI unit & aquarium salt with a refractometer to get to ideal salinity. I ran the RODI waste water mistakenly, for probably less than one minute, but it entered into the existing mixed, clean salt water (approx 35 gallon). I was about 1.027 salinity, so I wanted to bring it down a little but mistakenly put the waste line in... instead of the clean.
My question is do I need to dump all of the existing water due to contamination? Or this sub-minute RODI waste water (likely .1-.2 gallons max) will be diluted by the ~35 gallons of clean water in my can? If contaminated, can I treat it with chlorine to be safe?
Thanks,
Colin
