All we're going to do in this video is take the Marine Depot clean water for
stage advanced R O D. I filter and upgrade to 200 gallons per day.
At two additional DIY resin containers.
Install the auto shut off float valve kit, clean the shed. Find the studs,
drill the holes, attach the wood, Mount the filter.
Install the auto shut off valve install the float valve attached to the unit
seal rinse the barrel size of the tubing. Cut the tubing and test the system.
So we can go from a cluttered unmounted 100 gallon per day RDI system
to this,
to do this project yourself. Here's what you'll need.
The links are below the MD clean water for staged advanced RDI filter the MD
clean water 200 gallon per day. Upgrade kit the spectrum pure max cap.
Two-stage add on kit, the spectrum for your auto shut off valve float.
Get our O tubing and aro cutters,
a one half inch unit seal bulkhead or utility pumps with flexible tubing and a
plastic hose clamp, a stead finder measuring tape, and a pencil,
a drill and drill bits and whatever mounting hardware you'll need for your
setup.
The first thing I'm going to do is install the MD 200 gallon per day upgrade,
which basically means I'm going to be adding a second aro membrane,
taking the wastewater from the first aro membrane,
and you're recycling it through the second membrane.
That way you can get more clean water out of that dirty water. Thank goodness.
I took a picture of the old system before I installed the new system,
or I would be lost. It's really quite confusing.
[inaudible]
water starts the sediment filter to the carbon filter from the carbon filter.
It takes this yellow line here and it goes up to this junction,
which then goes to the pressure. Gauge continues down the yellow line.
It goes into the auto shutoff valve from the auto shutoff valve.
It goes through here and it goes into the first aro membrane travels down.
The ROL membrane.
Clean water comes in into this Y and the dirty water goes back up and into
the input for the second ROL membrane continues down the clean waters joined in
this why they go through here.
I have attached one of the inline TDS meters to measure when the efficacy
of the aro filter stops goes through the auto shut off valve and the clean water
line goes down into the first DIY resin canister,
and the wastewater has a control valve. So you can flush the ROL membranes,
and this will go out to the waist.
Next, we're going to drill the hole for the float valve and we need a half inch.
So it's this one right here,
have the clean water for stage,
which is going to have to go like up here and then the two stage below it.
So let's measure. Find the studs, drill the holes and get this bad boy mounted.
[inaudible]
I need to invest in some sort of power tools, especially on 107 degree day.
Screw this
the moment you realize it's battery powered,
we're going to start on the bottom and then Mount the top.
I just need to be able to find the studs in the stucco.
And then I just need to make sure I put enough space between the bottom and the
barrel so that I can unscrew the canisters and replaced the media.
There's no step there.
We got one stud
[inaudible]
we're halfway there.
I can only find that one stud,
which means this portion here is attached to a stud with two screws,
but this side over here is not.
So I may need to upgrade my screw eventually to a masonry screw so that it can
really grind into that stucco halfway there. Now it's time to Mount the MD,
clean water advanced on thought.
See this here, look at that. I get these crummy screws and they just snap off,
but it's not just one. It's both of them.
So now I am not going to be able to send it out.
I'm going to have to screw another hole over here,
which means it will be just off center, but Oh, well
we've installed both the clean water four stage and the two stage upgrade DEI
resin.
Now we just need to drill a hole in the 50 gallon drum to install the unit seal,
install the utility pump and the flexible tubing,
and then finish with the R O tubing attached to the faucet.
I drilled the wrong size hole. I really only had two options,
had this one inch option.
And then this either like one and a half or two inches.
So obviously the two inch was so clearly not even close,
it's just not going to fit. So now I think I'm stuck,
carving out as carefully as I can on the inside. Right.
I just need to do is just buy the right tools.
I think I might be able to fit it through now. Let's try it.
Come on.
So close get. Oh yeah, come on.
You're gonna seal,
ah, done. I have a huge mess. Look, just look at the mess.
So I'm going to clean all this up and then all we have left to do is just rinse
out the barrel. Cause it has a bunch of plastic in there.
Install the aro tubing to the faucet and then test it.
[inaudible]
everything's connected. Let's see if it works.
I forgot one thing squander it's actually okay. That's just the output line.
So if I change this, I to attach them tubing,
they're really now we're just checking for leaks. I don't see any leaks here.
Look in the back. No leaks.
We have one more test and that's to see if the shutoff is working.
So theoretically when I lift this up, the water should trickle to a stop.
And not only that, but this water as well should stop. So you ready?
Let's try it. Okay. That water stopped. Is that water going to stop?
And so looking like I installed it incorrectly,
so I'm going to have to go back and troubleshoot. Well, good news.
I haven't done it set up correctly. I thought it was wrong.
I spent the last hour and a half,
two hours redoing everything up here because I thought I had it wrong,
but I didn't have it wrong.
The thing was in order to make this stop,
the dirty water line and you have to lift it up,
but then you have to build up back pressure in every single Dai resin
containers. So can you see that the water has to fill all the way to the top and
then, and only then will the wastewater shut off? So it's working.
It's great.
Well, this is Matthew with that reef show.
My first fish tank working with Marine Depot.
This shirt was completely soaked 10 minutes ago.
That means it's just too hot out here.
So enjoy this video montage before,
after whatever you want to call it while I go inside and have something cool
drink.
