Thanks. It has taken a long while to get the rocks how I like them. I especially love the right side of the tank.

Today I started setting up my barrel in anticipation for the RO/DI unit that i am expecting on Monday. I drilled the bottom of the barrel and fitted it with an extra bulkhead from an overflow kit. I am leak testing now. So far so good. I have a ball valve to regulate the flow out of the barrel.

Here is what I have so far:

The installation of the RO/DI unit is complete. I am efficiently churning out RO/DI water. The setup was ridiculously easy. I was shocked at how easy it was to setup. I was expecting lots of pilled water and leaks. No leaks and hardly any water on the garage floor.
