Also my friend wants to go into waste water management and he would totally appreciate some insight as to what you guys to and how you got there! The waste has been through the sediment and carbon filters but not the RO membrane so it contains not only it's original TDS but also the TDS left behind from the water osmosed through the membrane.
Along with that any residual chlorine disinfectant has been removed so no, I would not recommend drinking it or using it for pets or food preparation. You can water plants or the lawn, wash clothes or whatever but i prefer to send it to the sanitary sewer treatment plant to be recycled and used over and over again.
I oftenthought about using the waste water for a tanganyikan cichlid tank. I just don't know what other nasties would be in that watr. I have a buddy that services them here in AZ. Btw I searched Amish Jane on a certain hosting site and it took me a screening featuring a big black couch! At least thats how it works in my city. I have a friend that works for the city and he got in because of his uncle. Yes they hold these large hiring events. Last one I went to had over applicants. I have passed the all the test and have made it to the final interview process 5 times.
I gave up after the last one. My buddy told me that the person they hired was the 20 year old kid of a foreman for the city and the one before that was a guy that spent 6 years volunteering with the city and already had a part time position with the city. My friend claims its rigged to hire relatives Having a class A or B driver license helps.
Also you can take classes at community college to prep you for your certs. Good work if you can get it. I wish your friend luck. Yes it is safe to drink. I find it bland and not that tasty to drink. The reason they do this is to ensure your coffee taste the same no matter what location you get it from. This thread cracked me up. You can bypass your di stage for drinking water. That's what the railroad is like I've had a few people tell me I only got hired because I was military.
Everyone else is military or has family on the railroad. When cutting weight during the last 24 hours, you want your body to release as much fluids as possible. Purging the body of salt will enable your body to release more fluids. I am not familiar with whether DI water has the same water characteristics as distilled. Due to the distillation process, I think it leaves the water really volatile acidic, aggressively binds with organic and inorganic minerals, maybe some other stuff.
It's typically recommended for this reason that you avoid long term distilled water consumption, but again, I'm not aware that DI possesses the same attributes. Even if it acted the same as distilled, you're typically fine to drink it as supplemental water to your regular water consumption routine.
The RO output water is totally fine, the issue is the DI resin. Unless you're drinking a lot of water in one sitting to the exclusion of all else, the mineral depletion argument is BS.
One thing to consider is that pretty much all typical water sources in the developed world are either chemically treated for pathogens ie they have chlorine in them or are packaged in a clean environment ie bottled water. We've gotten used to unquestionably safe and clean water. In other words, there's nothing to keep the water coming out of your unit free from bacteria or some other pathogen. Drinking a large amount of water in a sitting is dangerous for your body , there are well documented story on the web from someone wanting to win a competition etc , etc , etc.

I am a bit nutso about drinking water. I tried making tea with it - it's bloody horrid! I really don't get the argument about RODI stripping the body of minerals. Water enters the stomach where it mixes with foods. There are vastly more minerals in food than in water so it really makes no difference at all if the water is pure or not.
If you only drank RODI and didn't consume anything else then yea Anyway, it isn't pleasant drinking it anyway so there really isn't much point. Great guys thanks. So I'll do two tanks. One before DI for drinking and one after DI for the tank. Find More Posts by iwishtofish. RO water isn't very quenching to me. It makes great ice, but for drinking we have pretty good tap H2O here. Same goes for bottled, brands like Dasani, and Aquafina are "purified" from municipal sources RO, and to me don't taste good.
Find More Posts by hllywd. Just wondering?. Starting a 28 gallon nano. I was planning on doing 5 gallon water changes every week. I bought an rodi unit and thought about buying like 20 gallon can with a lid to store water so I have it ready for my water changes. I would buy a 6 gallon bucket to mix my saltwater.
Would my water be okay for a month in the 20 gallon containet. I saw a company on line called baytech that sells FDA approved containers.
Anyone ever heard of them. Sorry so may questions but want my fishes to be safe and healthy. A RubberMaid trash can is more than sufficient.
There's absolutely no need to go with the high dollar food grade container. Rinse it well to begin with and you'll be fine. I have a RO unit with a storage tank and faucet, I just got a separate DI unit which I would like to install after RO for fish only, what kind of device should I get so the DI water is only going to the reef with RO still goes to the storage tank.
I would like to automate this so I don't have to manually turn off the value. Would a tee be suffice for this purpose. NOT recommended.
I've been on submarines for about 15 years and we use a fair amount of DI for chemistry etc in the nuke plant. YellowBelly , Feb 3, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content.
