Filling New Tank (1 Viewer)

[jimR]

Any one know of a place in Missouri City / Sienna Plantation area to get large containers of RO Water? I have a new 180 gal to fill this weekend and my RO-DI cannot produce fast enough.

Any Help will be appreciated

since you have to cycle your tank, i would recommend collecting all the bins, buckets, and anything that holds water, and find a water windmill. water windmills are usually found in parking lots of large shopping centers. looks like a windmill in the middle of the parking lot. get your water there, and as you cycle your tank, refill your buckets and bins with your home made RO/DI water. just my thoughts. good luck.

That's 1500 lbs of water. You do not want to carry that in anything less than a full size pickup; a 3/4 ton would be the smallest truck you would want to even try it in.

Hey Jim,
I thought you were moving back to be close to your kids. That's a very nice size tank 180gal.

i had to make several trips when i first set up my tank, i only had a few buckets. plus i've been hauling water for year now. but i just got a ro/di unit, so my haulin' days are over!!!

Hi, Jim.
I agree with the water windmill, I use it all the time when I want a lot of water and don't want to wait for the RO/DI.

Good luck,
Steve

Jim, I would suggest the "windmill" too. The only change I would make is that you buy some 55g drums instead of a ton of buckets. I use to hook a 1" line to the nozzle at the windmill and run it straight into my drum then use a pump to get it into the house when I got home, there is nothing easier.
