    2nd Chance for a True Weber Classic: A 1998 1st Generation Summit 450

    I’ll swing by tomorrow and take a look - I think the thermometer and bezel might work for my Vieluxe What do you mean by Trays? Grease tray? You want manifold if LP?

    2nd Chance for a True Weber Classic: A 1998 1st Generation Summit 450

    Found this Summit Platinum in the trade in heap at the local Ace… Any parts that could be useful for our OG Summits? Knobs? Or can frame be repurposed to save Genesis 2000?

    Bloom is Coming Off the Rose

    Maybe go full manual with a pour over when time allows… I just got a cuisinart gooseneck electric kettle that is fast and convenient for my mint tisane

    Bloom is Coming Off the Rose

    Have you thought about the Technivorm? https://www.sweetmarias.com/brewing/brewers/electric.html This place is down the road from me and has all things for coffee geeks

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    I was referring to the primary as the one closest to your faucets… cuz the other one is secondary (and not really necessary) 3/8 really not needed nor is relocation of other tank

    If you decide to keep secondary tank, current placement is probably adequate. It will transfer to primary tank at lower but probably acceptable rate (flow rate you saw at faucet prior to relocation of tank)

    Line from RO package to tank(s) certainly don’t require more than 1/4” - remember the RO can only deliver a trickle If all of your demand is in kitchen, I honestly don’t think you would even need a second tank - remove it and store as a backup and minimize any biofilm

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Residential RO production is a trickle of water The only place where you experience high flow is between the storage (bladder tank) and the fixture. If this section is relatively short - then 1/4” tubing is more than adequate If you absolutely cannot place the storage near the demand - then...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    I think it’s just sort of like a “balloon” inside - I installed horizontally between joists and used plumbers tape strapped to adjacent joists. Make sure you have access to schrader valve for maintenance Product lines are between ro package and fixtures Place bladder tanks near fixtures -...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    I strapped a bladder tank under the sink between floor joists once… RO system (filters, membrane and control valve) can be placed anywhere accessible for inspection and maintenance I don’t understand “tanks feed back to RO control block”

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Most packaged residential systems are going to have membranes in the 5 to 10gal per day range - immediate demand will need to be supplied by your bladder tanks and made up with RO production in the 0.2 to 0.5 gallon per hour range
  13. R

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Yes you could upsize the tubing or place the tank(s) closer to your fixture with the greatest demand - ie drinking faucet

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Sorry - I’m a geeky mechanical engineer that managed municipal and industrial water systems in a past life… Check the pressure of the tank when the RO is “full” - this will be your shutoff pressure Let’s check if your bladders are leaking or ruptured: Shutoff water supply to RO and open...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Check for air leaks at the schrader valve and the internal bladder (several ways to do this dry and wet) A few important pressures to note: pressure required for ice maker operation and RO system pressure at shutoff I didn’t watch the whole video, but didn’t notice him checking pressure of his...
