Thanks all

I have been thinking about doing this. I am envious.

Couple of observations, questions.

1) Cool!
2) What's that blue capped thing next to your maxxima membrane?
3) What do you do with your waste water? and why don't you just run it straight to a drain?
4) In your sump tank, where the fresh salt water comes in, do you blast it back-pressure-wise through the turned-off "out" pump?
5) You have a lot of gate valves. Do you need to turn them all on / off each time, or are some of them just there for assembly '/ reassembly?
6) Why did you choose rigid instead of flex PVC?
7) When are you coming to Chicago?

Nice!
I like all the cabinets.
Never have enough places to put stuff.

1) Cool!
2) What's that blue capped thing next to your maxxima membrane? Dual Stage DI
3) What do you do with your waste water? and why don't you just run it straight to a drain? it runs into the waste barrel & out to water the plants
4) In your sump tank, where the fresh salt water comes in, do you blast it back-pressure-wise through the turned-off "out" pump? yes
5) You have a lot of gate valves. Do you need to turn them all on / off each time, or are some of them just there for assembly '/ reassembly? all the time when mixing some are open when pump out of the sump others are open & when filling the sump others are open
6) Why did you choose rigid instead of flex PVC? I had it avaiable
7) When are you coming to Chicago? good question maybe when my oldest graduates Illinios State or business takes me there
