❤❤❤I have 2 water distillers at home. One counter-top electric and the other is stove-top stainless steel. I’ve been making Distilled water for my Nano tanks and my larger tanks for a long time now.
The counter-top one is great. Mine is 1gal and I have a clear tube that goes down to a 5gal bucket. When it’s full I treat, test, and use it on a tank. Then I clean it and do it again.
With the large Stainless Distilling pot I have a 55gal drum(food grade) that I’ve got full of treated potable water. It does 2 gals at a time so it’s a bit faster but it takes constant monitoring so you don’t run it dry.
Never change a filter and never worried in a power outage because I can use a gas burner to make fresh water. Why would I waste my tap water making 1/2 gal every 5gal of water; When I can just get it for a 1:1 ratio by distilling? It’s cheaper in the long run because one doesn’t take any filters and electrify is the only cost and the other doesn’t require electricity or filters. And neither of them require me to have deal with hoses, lines, pipes, water pressure, and changing depleted filters. It’s just as simple as fill and walk away.
Getting 1gal of distilled water and never having to worry about coming home to water on the floor is pretty nice.
Its actually other way around R O is used. Distilled is preferred.
yeah, but if you use distilled, they can't overcharge you for a plastic housing and filter refills. I miss when BRS was the budget friendly leader.
I use and prefer the distilled water in the baby section of most stores
This is nerve calming and very Vital information.
I just received my 5 stage RODI system and installed it in 10mnts ,. Says it makes 50galns in 24hrs. To be honest I don't see how, it a very low trickle. And you'll waist 3 gallons of tap water to make 1galn of RODI. So is it really worth it? Very very time consuming.
Got a 3 stage one supposed to be 50gpd but probably more like 19
Tap water is on average $0.0015 per gallon. So 15% of 1 cent per gallon. So even if it wasted 10 gallons of water per gallon it made it would still cost less than 2 cents. So way way cheaper than buying distilled water.
You can buy a pump they make for those. @@assassin3003
@@andrewcatlin3590if you use the pump that powers more water through you will save more water cuz there is some water that goes to waste that didn't need to
@@jhonjohnjonjondoe5011 yes a booster pump will save a lot of water. Regardless of the product to waste water ratio because of how insanely cheap tap water is it will almost always be cheaper to use an RO/DI system than buying distilled water. The only factor that may cause you to change your mind would be the time aspect. Buying distilled water also adds up quickly. A at I was spending between $400 and $600 a year in distilled water before I got my RO/DI system. It paid for itself quickly.
I purchase distilled water when I run out of ROID water and haven't had time to run to the reef store
So i should make distillery and not have to pay you guys for rodi media?
lmao
I feel like ive had more algae show up with distilled. Treating distilled is a thing. But rodi. Why not. Tomato tom ah toe
If you having alage issues you should reduce you lighting usage .nuisance alage thrive on light
Should I use distilled water to cycle my rocks. My aquarium doesn’t ship till next month.
