de-ionised water

[jagz]

right iv been looking at making some 4dkh solution , now i know i need de-ionised water so i can either buy some water from halfords or i can make my own , so if i run water through my ro unit with di chamber will this make the water i need or do i need to run it only through the di chamber without the rest of the ro unit

or will this not work at all

cheers jagz

cheers matt ,

so i add
6g of Sodium Bicarbonate to 5 litre of di ro and that give me 40dkh
i then take 100ml of this mix and mix it with 900ml of plain di ro
and this should then give me 1 litre of 4dkh solution

have i got that right

cheers jagz

cheers matt ,

cheers

You could mix it and see
Just test with dkh test
Personally I would stick with the tried and tested

Hi gang
You must use Deionised water only as Reverse Osmosis water wont work.

Yea Dan thats what I was thinking.

 

[jagz]

arrr hoggie it would be 4 stage ro unit so it is prefilter > carbon > membrane > DI Resin

so it is going through the di aswell

matt do you get 4dk when you have made it mate

cheers jagz

 

[jagz]

if you run it through DI resin that make di water

so by using di resin in my ro unit i would be making di ro water

Hi
Have a go at making it with this 4 stage RO unit and let us know how it turned out.
I have only used a 2 stage unit before.

Good man.

Mine is a 4 stage ro and I made 4 dkh absolutely fine using it
The di resin just removes all the last Cheka that the membrane can't deal with so that you end up with a TDS of zero
