Hi new to reef keeping, at the moment I collect ro water from my lfs , I
would like an ro unit but have little room and a wife who is not keen on
having it set up perm. I have been told they must be kept running
constantly
, yet I see on ebay units for sale, good prices and say can they be run
intermittently. how do you go about storage when not in use and does it
damage them to use like this?
thanks Paul, Beds UK



You do not need to have the unit run continously. It will be costly for your
water bill and replacement media. You can use a five gallon bottlle to
storage your water with a lid close. Five gallon jug bottle can be purchase
almost anywhere like Walmart / KMart / Target or any local water purfication
shop.

With RO unit, you should thinking about a TDS meter for investment to check
your RO performance if you do not own one yet.
