Like I've been doing for the last 3yrs....keeping an eye on it! Looks like it'll take about 2-3 days. Glad this is the only time I gotta make this much water at once.

When I get my float switch in the mail, I'll make the bracket and post a picture.
Might be something you could do down the road when you aren't spending money on the new setup.

Can't use a float switch. My unit hooks up to my kitchen tap. Only way to stop the flow is manually

 

[mfinn]

Any progress?

My unit hooks up to my kitchen faucet also and I use a float switch. You sure you can't use a float switch? Works perfectly also.

Hey Marty! Gotta order my sand yet but my Jeep needs a front end alignment first. So once again the tank takes a back seat So I'm gonna throw my rock into a tub an cook it until I can order my sand.

Wow! Life is like a box of chocolates.....thought my Jeep only needed a front end alignment, NOT!
$436.00 later.....2x roters, 2x calipers, 1x pad, 2x ball joints...this will be the slowest tank build in history! <sigh>

That's unfortunate, but you got to deal with life.

It'll come together and be full soon.

Hey! I'm happy I'm no longer afraid to drive my Jeep She's my baby don't ya know eh-lol. Now I can really tell I have new tires

Sucks when its happening, but remembering the sacrifice and waiting can make things so much cooler. So, that totally means this is going to be a truly awesome tank!

I hate that, when driving can be a scary experience.
I had a couple jeeps in the past that would qualify in that category.

New tires is the next thing I need to do for mine and they cost almost as much as a large tank. lol

Did you test out that other pump yet?

 

[NanaReefer]

Not yet, but it's in there waiting My sand got ordered on Wednesday and should be here on Thursday That is the only thing holding me up.
Question for you though. My RO/DI comes out 0 TDS. Once the Brute is full it reads 0 TDS. But having used 5g out of it for a WC on my 26, I again tested it and am getting 001-002 TDS. Why is this happening and is it bad for my tanks?

 

[mfinn]

Is that 1 or 2 TDS, or is it .001 to .002?

Could be a little residual left from the manufacturing of the container, or airborne contaminates .
I was concerned about the same in my brute, but then I realized I had already used my brute for mixing salt water and even though I had cleaned it as best as I could, there was still something left over.
Even if it is just 1 or 2 TDS, I wouldn't worry about it.
If it is the lesser amount, I really wouldn't be concerned.

 

[NanaReefer]

Sorry, .001 to .002 Ok then I'm not going to fret
