I just stored the DI in an empty jar the same way it came, which is a little wet, but no visible liquid in it. Damm..., I thought I got more stuff than you instead of just the water ;D.
You asked for it, here is the dizzy picture I just took for you
. I tried to squeeze in as much things as possible, therefore the little cramped space. At least you have not seen the Calcium reactor and all the pumps at the back ;D.
Basically, the raised tank on the right is RO/DI water pumped in from garage through crawl space daily (controlled by a timed solenoid and float valve), which feed the kalk reactor (driven by a Kangaroo pump) and topoff water (controlled by a float valve). Tank water from one overflow goes to the left fuge tank, then gravity feed to the sump. Water from the other overflow directly goes into the sump. All the controllers are at the lower right corner. I drilled a hole on ER skimmer to overflow the waste water into a emptied carbon bottle, which was fitted with a float switch that turns off the skimmer in case of a overflow. The new littermeters are at the lower left corner. According to the manual, they do 150 little water changes for me everyday. It first pump in a little water (all my water lines are plumbed through crawl space and wall) into the far end of sump (go directly into return pump), wait until its 192 seconds is up, the second pump takes out equal amount of water, and wait until another 192 seconds is up, followed by waiting for another 192 seconds (interval for 3rd pump, which I did not have money for and have to wait until next group buy
). The above cycle is repeated 150 times a day.
As far as I know, the only down side compared to weekly/monthly water change is UP to 20% wasted clean water (pumped out shortly after coming in). But in return, it never gets tired, no temp or chemical content swing, no sore back, and no wasted water all over my wood floor. Best of all, who else can claim that they do 150 water changes a day like I do?
