So I'm making ro/di water... For my initial fill!  Will need 110gals...

Its taking forever!  Lol

Left to go watch a hockey game (about 1.5 hrs)  I swear it only made 5gals...

Going to take a long time...  Wish it was faster!

Yup, RO/DI takes forever. Might say 100g per day, but that is at optimal pressure and over a day. I normally get 5gallons every 2.5-3 or so hours

Good news though..  Tds reading 0-1ppm..  So I'd say water is perfectly good.. 

Be patient,  be patient,  be patient...

No I'm good now..  Just have to rig up my pump to send water from my laundry room to the tank in the living room!  Then I'll turn it back on again!  Will be full by tomorrow!
