RO/DI replacement filters???

yeah, i have to call him back after i get the pressure gauge installed..we will try to narrow it down to one thing..he said that if pressure wasn't the problem, then it will be the temp...

really cold? or really hot?

hot is bad

 

[ronj]

really cold... he said there was an easy way to mix in a hot water line to warm up the water a bit

 

[james734]

That should be a easy thing to do. Just put a Tee in the feed line and run a hot water line into it. Hook the hot water up just like you did the cold water when you orignaly plumbed it up.

 

[ronj]

yeah, he said it was just some little valve, but you have to be sure not to get too much hot water

 

[james734]

Yeah. You'd have to control the flow.

With the price of elctricity I'd just wait a little longer for the water. Hot water heater suck alot of juice and even this low flow is going to drive up your power bill.

my hot water heater is gas powered..it hardly gets over $30 a month..he said the units are supposed to be used at about 70 degrees.. he said they don't work properly if the water is too cold...i just want to give it a try and see what happens

Just remember when you plumb it, you cant just do it like you did the cold line. Hot water lines have alot more pressure and when the rodi is off the fittings are going to get hot. You need to use fittings design for hot water. Probably copper with copper bendable tube.

Good point Don, I didn't even think of that and the poly pipe.

 

[ronj]
