reverse osmosis question???

hi, ive been using fosset water for years i let it sit overnight, if i buy a reverse osmosis filter can i run water straight from my fosset threw the ro filter into my reserves and use the water the same day, thanks all

depends on the system.


they go by GPD (gallons per day)

you may have to make a RO res

ok thanks, can you recommend some where 2 buy 1 with a higher gpd

im not sure, but the higher GPD the more money!!!!!

but i would suggest you get a large res for the RO!!!!

LOL

to the OP, no its not 1 gal per day. They are rated at x gal per day or hour.

Filters restrict flow a lot. And forcing it through faster results in lesser quality.

How much water do you need a day? a week? a month?

If you are using, say 5 gal every 5 days, does it matter if its 5 gal per hour or 1 gal per day? You still have the water you need, when you need it.

i use 6 56 gallon reserves for 3 4x4 tables, i use a hose 2 fill 3 100 gallon barrels(let sit overnight) that i keep on my padio, i use a power head 2 pump 2 my reserves, i empty my reserves on flush on wednesday and mix new nutes thursday, god its alot of work, i was hoping 2 buy a ro filter that i could run straight 2 my reserves and bypass the 100 gallon barrels and the overnight wait, thanks

if your money is right, sure you can get a RO system that could put out that within a day!

im looking 2 spend no more than 500, could you point me in the right direction, i seen 1 on ebay fpr 390 it says 700 gpd but you must have a 40-50 psi sink and it does not filter as good as the 100 gpd filters, im looking for the best filter job 4 my money, thanks again

Give me a minute here. Ok, so what you want to do is produce the capacity between your last watering of the day and the first watering of the next day or in flowering light, in a twelve to 14 hour time span.
You will need 336 gallons in 1/2 day. The Merlin System msrp $589.00 750 gallons per day, 40% less waste water produced. Keep in mind that rating does not equal actual production. As an example my 200 gpd system produce around 85 gpd, depending on the water temperature. It also only cost $200.00 VV
