Increase RO/DI output during winters cold water

I know Greg (delta) does something similar... maybe that's who you're thinking of?

lol @ engineer walls

re-reading the posts, I'd say the only thing to be worried about at all with pre-mixing hot and cold water into the RODI is the possibility of letting water from copper pipes making it through the membrane....I'm still fuzzy on what part of the ro/di clears copper residue from the water, but that would be a Very Bad Thing, imho.

If you want warm water for your RO/DI it's as simple as tapping off the feed line to your toilet bowl, its already mixed with hot to prevent the bowl from sweating.

I think I am going to go with a 200 gallon holding tank with auto valve. that way there is no waiting for the r/o

Wouldn't simply running hot water from ones hot water tank significantly increase the TDS of the water going into the filter? Because of all the crap in the hot water tank?

If your feed to the toilet tank is not from a mixing valve you need a new plumber.

An insulation kit is much cheaper to install and use for the long run.

Proper conditioning of the air (AC) also does wonders.

Not being on the coast helps as well.

I have only the coastal air problem and my refrigerator sweats in the summer, and everything can get moist if the fog rolls in fast

I'm sure your not comparing the cost of central air to a mixing valve, are you...
