I just got a great deal on a used 5 stage SpectraPure MaxCap RO/DI from a friend. :-D
I'd like to plumb this to automatically keep a reservoir filled, but I'm not sure how to do that. I gather that the drain line coming out of the RO/DI doesn't stop when the clean water line does. How do people deal with this? Maybe a float switch and a solenoid valve on the incoming water line would do the job?
Also, I heard that the water is not as pure when the unit first starts up, so one should flush it for a bit before starting to collect water. That seems a little more complicated. Is it worth trying to set up something that does that?
How do other people plumb these things?
TIA!
