Are you using lids with the setup?

Hi yes, I will drill a small hole for the RODI line and a larger one in the 2nd lid for the 1” pvc.

You might want to add a union right where it connects to the bucket. You’ll want to remove it once in a blue moon to wash out the salt side.

Where i drew "X" i would put unions. The drop of that 90 i have circled, don't glue. And shorter that other section, since you'll have a union you won't need it so high.

I guess that would apply to several members here.

I would use something like this for the RODI. https://www.amazon.com/AquaticLife-...cphy=9032075&hvtargid=pla-2281435179018&psc=1

im starting to make mine. i'm going to make it so that the bottom pvc pipes used to fill buckets are recessed into the frame or the bottom panel that the bins sit on. i do alot of tinkering in the garage and knowing me i would end up breaking off the pipe that is sticking out

To fill buckets?
Run hose lines with pump
No heavy lifting, better control to minimize spillage
I work very hard NOT to lift or pour

Thanks all! I incorporated the feedback. Especially huge thank you to @Srt4eric for taking the time to even draw out directions for me. I really appreciate being part of this community!
