Hello everyone,Happy Holidays! i got a barracuda 200gpd ro/di unit for christmas,and since i live buffalo,ny the water temps get pretty cold this time of year,i was wondering if i use warmer water by adjusting the water temp via the faucet and with a thremoneter then run it through the unit.I know you can't run hot water because it melt the membrane,also i was told by a fellow reefer on this forum using cold water can shorten the life of the filters.I was thinking having the water around 70-75 degrees almost aqurium water temp.I,m not sure what the unit is rated for as far as water temp goes.aqurium water is cold to the touch so i'm thinking it would be ok.i thinking of calling aquafx and asking i just thought someone might know before i called them.
Thank You
