Ro Water

[marinemike]

Does anybody know how long it take to make 5 GALLON of RO WATER? AS it costs £5 for 5 gallons at LFS,So I'm sure it would be cheaper to get an RO MACHINE,Then also could make water for local people at a charge.

hi mike it's well worth getting your own ro unit imo as for how long to make 5 gal well that would depend on the size of the unit and also the water pressure,but it wouden't take that long and it would save you going backwards and forwards to your lfs too well worth the money:D

[marinemike]

So which is a good unit to buy and what price region are they,and how easy are they to install.

[mfcfan]

well ro-man units are very good about 80 quidish get one with a di resin oh and it's also worth getting a inline tds meter with it,some models have them but you can also buy them seperate there not very expensive and they are very easy to install if i can anybody can:D

You would soon save money after buying a RO unit from RO man, also you wiil be able to ensure the quality.

Get your self over to RO Mans site, and get one ordered ASAP IMO.

hi tets, yeah sorry but thanks anyway.
do you no anybody who does there own salt water?

[Tetley]

hi tets, yeah sorry but thanks anyway.

Lots of us do - its not hard.;)

Purchase salt (from Macca), add this to RO water to correct level (Use a refractometer to measure 35ppt).

Mix the above with a powerhead for 24 hours, bring up to temp - add to tank (after of course you remove the same quantity of old water from the tank).

Job done. :)

[Aqua Marine Imports]

ok nice one, when using the refractometer i no that the salt should be 1.025 when in tank but was is 35ppt, sorry if i sound thick?

[aero]

Hi,

1.025 is the SG, which is fine - hower SG will vary with temp (so if you mix salt cold to 1025, by the time its heated up to tank temp it will have changed). So if you have a refractometer and when you look through it you will notice on one side of the scale SG and the other salinity, I use this as salinity will not change with temp. NSW has a salinity of 35ppt.

Hi Mike where do you get you RO water from at £5 for 5 gallons they are robbing you. My RO runs 100 gallon in about 25 hours which i bought from RO Man last year before James opened. James does RO MAN units so get to him for one. Twiggy:D:D

[marinemike]

Think I mentioned Id speak to SANTA,glad to hear he's got them for sale.,Soz RO water £2.50 for 5 gallon,SALT WATER £5 FOR 5 GALLON.

[Aquandy]

Yep certainly worth getting one, and so easy to fit.

If you need any I could run some off for you, give us a call?

[marinemike]

Thanks ANDY AERO has done me some,just got to collect it and sort out getting some salt and a REFRACTOR.

[Aquandy]

OK no worries, offer always there if you need some?

[marinemike]

Thanks,Andy.
