I was planning on installing an RO unit, under my tank (well actually just adjacent to it) connected to an auto top up unit.
I found that my previous 180 lost about a gallon per day evaporation. Adjusting like for like, the new tank will probably loose about 1.3 gallons (8 litres in Euro-speak) - the tank is 8x2x2.
Having never owned an RO unit, and not being entirely familiar with the devices, I was suprised to read that the first gallon or two of water should be run off to waste each time you use the unit. If this is so, then is my plan to use an RO unit connected to a top off controller flawed?
My plan was to further improve this set up, and run the top off water through kalk stirrer - there by killing two birds with one stone.
I would really apreciate folks comments - if I am to proceed with the RO idea then I need to do before the cabinet etc is fitted.
Thanks
