I got the trash cans tonight so as soon as the refractometer gets here i'll start mixing the water...finally we're getting closer to something actually happening!

Congrats!

That's great! It's really good that you bought the refractometer straight off, they are a big help.

 

[skywhitney]

I wasn't about to try to do any salinity tests with a cheap hydrometer. They are so inaccurate the majority of the time IME.

 

[skywhitney]

Refractometer arrived today. Have any of you used this one before?

I should get the stand tomorrow (hopefully) or Friday at the latest.

so close...

Edit: I just nabbed a TDS meter as well

Lord help me...I'd be lucky to get 5 gallons a day out of this RO/DI unit!!

What kind is it

 

[skywhitney]

What kind is it

no idea. It doesn't have any markings.

 

[skywhitney]

How much would 100 gallons be if I bought it?

 

[Mrc8858]

A 100 gpd filter or 100 gallons of Ro/Di water

 

[skywhitney]

100 ro/di

 

[Mrc8858]

I'm not positive on the water since i make my own but I think its around 30 cents a gallon

 

[skywhitney]

Im thinking i might just have to work on my unit. I gave up on it for tonight but in half an hour i got one gal of good water and about 8 gallons of waste... With that ratio it doesn't seem cost effective to me for large scale.

 

[Mrc8858]

Do you know how much water pressure you have cause it sounds like you don't have enough pressure

 

[skywhitney]

I was using the hose outside but it was leaking quite a bit. It felt like there was still a good amount of pressure going through even with the leak.

 

[skywhitney]

To make my water making experience even better my trashcan leak

There is something wrong then, it should be MUCH more than that. I'd contact the seller
