i dont know what counts as limited space..
but here is mine. the drawing doesnt show the closed loop which is used to churn the salt.
it is very simple and gravity fed. just takes a couple minutes for a water change.
i just drain some water into my mixing tank from the RO tank. Add salt..wait for salt to mix..
then i shut down my system, allowing my return section to fill up fully, i then turn a valve which drains my return section.
once empty, i turn another valve to add the new batch of SW to the return tank.
restart... rinse and repeat!
