    In the future when wiping silicone with your finger to improve the seal it creates first dip your fingers thoroughly in water. It prevents any silicone from sticking to your fingers and also allows you to really mold it into whatever shape you’d like.

  • @uncontrollabledogs3791
    @uncontrollabledogs3791 Жыл бұрын

    So I see from your video- that you can simply run the RO water straight into an open container? And you don't need to use the small tank that comes with the system. You could slowly fill a 55g barrel and no need for back-pressure on the filter??

    Hi great setup, I have a few questions: 1. Do you clean the holding container? If so how often? And do you just use soap and RO water? 2. How long can you store RO water for in the container? If you use say half of the water in there, can you leave the other half for a week without any sort of contamination?

    I thought the same, but this is an amazing idea. I was thinking one could get a thick food grade food safe liner (available from fabric wholesale stores/online shops/amazon). I used to make reusable, eco friendly living products. So, as long as you can figure a way to seel it, it will act as a liner inside whatever storage container you have.

    So the RO process, is a slow one. You use more water than you get out, so this ultra pure water is pretty 'expensive' in a way. RO remains one of the most widely used desalination methods. There're ain't many ways to do that. Hense your RO water being pretty valuable. At the end of the day, intent on use would be my container choice. If your filling fish tanks, I wouldn't worry about using a trash can. Yes, Huffy does make Food Grade cans, but why wouldn't you want something sealed??? You've, sterilized and reduced this water to near particles. Protect your ultra refined water, for drinking. Also, 40 gallon pressure tanks you can find for about 40 more dollars than these thick plastic cans. You did a great job on the video.

  • @AquaMayne

    No! Vaseline (petroleum jelly) eats the rubber. Eventually causing it to stretch and break. This is a silicone based grease made for plumbing and is okay for faucets that supply drinking water (also okay for fish tanks) Very little goes a long way.
