Default RO upgrade and HMA added
Hello I have upgraded my RO to a 200 gallons per day system and added an extra HMA pod to the first part of the system,I have taken a few photos that I hope will be of interest.The reason I have piggybacked 2 100gpd membeanes is to reduce the waste water.
Pic1 my basic 50gpd 4 stage RO

Pics 2&3 HMA pod added with taps to shut of membranes and open the HMA,the top tap closes the RO and the bottom one then opens the HMA.I have also changed the membrane to a 100gpd

Pics4&5 a 100 gpd membrane kit.

pics8&9 the completed system,this should increase my water production by 4 and reduce the waste by 50%

Pete a basic 50 gpd Ro is about £60.00,I have spread the cost out by buying in stages the whole thing cost £190.00,I dont know how much aquasafe stuff is but by running an hma those chemicals are not needed,which would cost me a small fortune with the amount of water changes I do.
