RO DI lines outside (1 Viewer)

Just as an FYI

If you are running ro di lines outside check it for leaks few times a year.

I noticed pin hole leaks in the incoming water line. I noticed my booster pump gauge was reading 90 vs 100. So I knew something is up with the income water line. Not sure what’s causing it but you know it could be the Texas heat. [emoji4]

This is about 4 ft from the house so not sure...also the 1/4 tubing I’m using is probably not the highest quality. It’s the typical brs tubing.

if you need a temporary RO/DI I have one that was donated to me that im not using if you want to borrow it

I would guess UV making it brittle (It has destroyed all of the plastic doodads that attach the coax to our house).

Makes sense...I keep 100 ft of that tubing at home so it’s easy to change few times a year.

Yes - the UV will destroy the tubing. One thing you can do is run your tubing inside PVC pipe, or inside 1/2" PE tubing to shield it from the sun. PE Tubing
