I have done something similar but my problem is, my tapwater has chlorine and ammonia in it. So, I can't connect it to my tap. I got a RODI system but the waste water always pushes water out, so it is wasting tapwater even when I don't need water anymore. How do you handle that? I have a giant 60 gallon bucket where I keep my safe RODI water but like I said, when it is full, it keeps making waste water and that too much waste and not fine for environment. Suggestions would be helpful. Good job.

@multipletanksyndrome 2 жыл бұрын

Could you add check valves to prevent backflow from the drip ends?

Check valves reduce more pressure therefore cause issues if you have lots of drippers

Looks great Jason Like the advantages your system has No mixing valve for temperature No filtration needed Fill the vat and prime it I would expect there is a heater in the vat to keep temperature up and stable? I do not have the space for the large vat Or I would have my auto water change system set up your way Thanks for sharing

@JadrenAquatics 5 жыл бұрын

No heater, I temp control the room so its the same as all of my tanks. You don't need a huge contianer but you would just have to refill it more often. Thanks

Came here after watching Flip Aquatics Tour of your Garage. This is an efficient way of doing water changes. I might make mine a little more budget and reuse materials where possible. Any places you can recommend to salvage parts from or where to buy everything?

I use 2 55 gallon aquariums to store, heat and add chlorine to (I have iron and sulfur bacteria) that I pump water from for water changes but because my tanks are spread around I can't do a drain. I do run a long hose out a door so that does eliminate buckets but can't do automatic water changes. 😑
