I'll be setting up an RODI system soon and will be storing the water in a 55 gallon drum before using it for water changes.
This is the first time I won't be performing WCs from the tap and I'm not sure what I'll need.
I'm hoping for some suggestions for what kind of pump I'll need to get the water from the barrel to the aquariums.
I'm also hoping to be able to use the pump to sort of circulate the water in the barrel prior to WCs to make sure it's mixed well, oxygenated and evenly heated (if possible).
I plan on using some sort of valve to stop the water flow from the hose as I move from tank to tank. Will the back pressure cause any damage to the pump?
If you've got a set up like this, then I'd love to hear about the make and model with which you've had the best success. This will be for fresh water aquariums, if that's a factor.
