scubasteve92 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey everyone, I am looking for someone who lives in south austin that would be willing to sell me RO/DI water every week or two. Not really ideal for me to get a system yet since I am in an apt and dont have much room for anything else. It would be roughly 15g/week (top off /week is about 10g and every 2 week I do a 5g water change). Please pm or text price and location, 903-2one6-3three90 Thank you, Joshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubasteve92 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 is aquadome not an option? I have been using them and they are great!! Just want to start controlling all aspects of my tank (i know someone else making ro/di water is not me controlling it..) so that I know what I put in my tank is what I want in my tank. Also, I figure it is not as expensive to make it yourself. I have been paying roughly $0.65/gal. x 15g = $9.75 x 26 (if getting water every 2 weeks) = $253.50 for a years worth of water.. I understand if no one can commit to something like this, so if I do not get any responses I will just get my own system and have it kinda temporarily in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 You could easily vamp tap under a sink in the apt or off the toilet line very easy hell even off the hot water heater supply line (where cold water goes into the heater to be heated) If you were north I'd offer to get your water, could easily do a deal where you give $10 a month or something just to cover the cost of the water, plus I've got dual inline TDS and can tel exactly PPM in and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowwrx137 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I live in an apartment and keep my RO/DI under the bathroom sink. Its so much more convenient than transporting buckets of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Sorry, you don't live more North, River City only sells it for $1 for 5g... You would pay $3 per week with them. I am not sure if anyone has ever tested the Filtered water out of the machines at some of the grocery stores, but that might be an option as well? You may want to get some and do all the tests to see how good their filtration is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I could commit to 5 gallons but 15 is a lot considering it takes 2 hours to fill a jug plus I need to make my own for top off and water changes. Might just cost you more anyway to drive up here. What I would do is get a $10 TDS meter and check the water quality before you fill so your sure your at 0.

ct67stang Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 can i just pick up an ro system from home depot or are the systems yall use different if so in what way do they differ? because ill pick up a system and offer scuba to share the initial cost and we can just share the water.

victoly Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 they are different, they have at least 1 more chamber filled with deionization beads. They generally also have a TDS meter inline, with a flush valve for the RO membrane, if the kit is an good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Would probably be best to get in on the BRS group buy going on right now to get it with free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 There are a few RO/DI units that will be given away as door prizes at C4 as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gott Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hahahaha I would happily have helped you out by volunnteering myself as a friend! But my friend who is also and ARC member lives southside and is supposed to be getting an RO unit soon. I think his is just RO, but I'll ask for you, since he isn't likely to read this.

Jimbo662 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I would help out but I'm up in Hutto. Not sure if that's too far to drive for water since I don't head into Austin every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
