No, I do not, but it is a possibility. Like I said, I really like your setup and I don't want to appear as if I'm bashing anything at all! I just have this annoying habit of always looking for ways things can fail.

I like your setup so much, I am probably going to base mine on yours and since I don't want to buy an electric solenoid and electric float switch it will probably be practically identical!

On a side note, I have looked at your sliding glass cover project and will also be doing that for my 100 gallon!

I wonder if we can sell the old filters as iron ore when they wear out. My TDS comes out of the RO @ 10. What is yours?.........DC

I'm thinking of setting up a water barrell for aging & heating water. I already have the barrell and a Mag 5 pump, which I used for something else. I've planning for awhile, but just never really did anything. Though, I do want to get it setup by the summer.

DC, how far is the barrell from the tanks?

Does the Mag 5 provide enough pressure to fill up the tanks?

Is it a big gush that flows into the tanks or it is just a nice gentle flow?

I missed this the first time around, mine comes out @ 10ppm as well.
