Hey Buzz...


I'm not really sure what you are asking here as there are two independent topics in your post, but I will give it a shot...

Yes, people have made denitrators. They are commonly called Coil Denitrators. Try doing a Google search for "DIY Coil Denitrator" and it should net you a gaggle of results ;)

As for the RODI making lots of waste... its not really a waste, you can use the water. You can use it for anything that you would normally use tap water for, like cooking, watering plants, washing laundry. Think of it like this... people buy filtration systems that they put under their sinks for dechlorinated tap water. You get the same thing out of the RODI waste line, filtered and dechlorinated water...

HTH
yes i use it for wash water and plants it seems like bucket after bucket I'd like to make my hobby easier so i can have fun enjoying it it seems i have 2 gal a day top off water 3years into the hobby and my tank is a 150 gal thanks Buzz
There is a way to make it more efficient...but your RODI has to already be a 75gpd unit..
