ZENNZZO's duce duce five...

OK I got it ordered and it'll be here Tues or Weds...

NOW!!, I got another delema...

I seen at HD a .50gph emiter in the Drip Irrigation section.
I didn't look at the working pressure needed, to obtain the valued GPH rate on the emmiters.

My original plan was to position a small overflow on the tank itself, then just have the RO unit fill the tank at a rate of .50 GPH.
The volume of water that the emitter allows into the tank can overflow to waste.

I guess the RO will just be at a constant 1/2 gph giving me 12 gallons per day and that works out to 84gallons per week...This is slightly over 33%

That also works out to about 12-13% of the rated daily capacity on the RO unit...

All these numbers seem OK to me...

Then I seen in the catalog, float valve parts, and I got to thinking there might be a better simpler way...

If ANYBODY has another way or is doing something different and would like to share, Please Chime in...

If youa re talking float switches. You need to search Rallysmans threads or PM him. He has a cool overflow setup. I just prefer to rely on gravity rather than mechanical and electrical components.

Thankx...I still have to decide which type of Overflow and float valve/switch to use...
I think Zennz is stumped on this one...:D :screwy:
 
Started on the wiring...each switch will be fed 110vt hot and neutural with the ground as needed. Not all of the appliances use a ground.
I am using 12ga stranded copper wire...

Solder each one in place...

Put on the heat-shrink tubing and use a torch to shrink down the tubing...

Now after I get all that done, I can put the wire into wire looms and use zip ties to make the harness..

Wonder what happen to PhullTank57 today...we were supposed to have coffee this AM and work on this thing some more today...

Imagine how easy this would be if some one elses fingers were holding the wires??!? LOL I'd have a few less blisters...:D ;) :D
