Adding a drinking water set up

lostmyz · 09/06/2012, 05:07 PM

I have a RO/Di system that is a hybrid between BRS and Spectrapure. I have a Standard RO/DI system with a chloramine remover (yes I know we don't have chloramines in our water out here in Phoenix, AZ but I am going to be moving to a new state in a few yrs and it might have chloramine so I figured why the heck not…. but thats not the importance of this topic), a booster pump, a LLC-SVC unit (to top off my top off reservoir) and I have 2 dual stage DI systems (2 cartridges of MaxCap and 2 cartridges of Silica Buster…. I also have 2 dual TDS meters so there is a meter between every DI canister).

I wanted to add a DWK-DI-3-N or a DWK-RO-3-N, or well my fiancee wants it. She doesn't like that my fish get better water than we get. I agree though. I am paying for nice water might as well get some for myself. My question is…. How can I add one of these two systems to my current set up and not have to manually turn the system on to fill the pressurized storage tank?

Thanks,

Andrew

You will have to move your solenoid and LLC-SVC down to the sump (or reservoir) and install the parts in the DWK-DI-3-N Kit as shown on Page 8 of this manual:

The original solenoid takes the place of the optional ball valve as shown. I hope you still have a float valve as a safety back-up.

forgot to mention that I use the LLC-SVC with a booster pump because my pressure can't get above 50 psi in my apt... oh I did mention that. So the solenoid and the LLC-SVC unit will have to go after the DI sections? But my booster pump will still go before my entire system? And this will allow my system to continue what its currently doing by filling my top off reservoir and also allow me to fill a pressurized storage jug and have clean drinking water while not having to worry about turning anything on or off....

I am not currently using a float valve as a safety back up. I have the 2 electronic float valves in my reservoir jug... I have a automative shut off if water touches the floor tho...

That's not a small detail and changes things quite a bit.

You need the parts in the "Booster Pump Kit with Electronic Solenoid and Pressure Switch Control" system, minus your pump and transformer. BPHF-PS-093-115

See it here:

http://spectrapure.com/St_kits_p3.htm

and see page 10 of this manual:

http://spectrapure.com/manuals/PRINT...STER-PUMPS.pdf

Your LLC-SVC and solenoid are still downstream after the DI section.

You can call our Sales Line and ask for the BPHF-PS-093-115 minus the pump and transformer. They will work up a price for you.

I guess I will have to call because I already have with my llc-svc the electronic solenoid. I also.have a spare pressure switch from a previous ro/di system. So not quite sure exactly what I will need besides the water kit.

Nope, you need TWO solenoids - one to turn the system on (so the drinking water tank can get water OR pass it on to the reservoir) and one to fill the reservoir.

The alternative is to forget the pump and live with the 50 psi.
