I don't feel the need.

I keep my RO tank covered and filled,
and have never experienced any bacteria.

I drink a gallon out of my RO rez everyday.
I cook with it, and if you really want a nice experience,
wash your hair with it.

If you're having a problem,
then the uV lamp may be a good solution,
I really can't say,
having no experience with them.

If you get one,
let me know what you think about it.

do you ph your RO water when drinking it? or do you drink it at whatever the ph is?

do you think the plumbing goop and the other sealants (i also used Great White Pipe Joint Compound w/ Teflon) i used when modding my res will fuck with me? do you think i should drink it? OR are those sealants safe in drinking applications?

what about tubing? should i get a special tubing on my RO res if i plan on drinking it? i know on the tubing it said not for drinking use or some shit. Any reason for that?

and last but not least..... wouldnt h202 kill any bacteria or that other yucky stuff that a UV sterilizer will kill?


pics if it helps

i still want to add some float valves, just not in the RO res..... is there anyway to maybe do some type of controller bucket and put the float valves in there????

im still lost as hell as to how to install float valves...i know its simple enough....i just need to know how many tubes

I don't see how you can have an RO rez without a float valve.

How are you going to keep it from running over?

How are you going to keep the rez full?
Stand there for hours?

My RO unit is for drinking water,
and I used brass
and plastic bulkhead fittings
with no goop.

My RO unit is on a platform
that is three feet above the nutrient rez,
which it feeds with another float valve.

Here is everything you need to hook up to a RO unit.

I would think for what ever the price......I would want to buy the hose that I knew for certain would be safe for me and the plant. I think most hardware stores that sell hose tell you exactly what it intended for. As far as I know all R.O and water filter lines are a standard size.....but I think they make "water safe" hoses in multiple sizes now.

its a 50 gallon res.


i can use 50 gallons in two res changes. i only have a 100 gpd unit.....normally takes around 12 hours to fill. as far as overfilling and keeping it full....well you know when you have a new toy you cant leave it alone anyway....so i normally just check it.



so do you know about my plastic fittings? they should be safe right???

most plastic fitting and stuff I would think should be safe for this application....I just would not get them too hot, they may start releasing chemicals before the plastic starts melting.....which is good for nobody. Some where on the box or on the plastic itself, it should say what it is made out of....then just check that.
