| Difference in Models of Typhoon? | | All of all reefkeeper units make the same quality water.
The difference in Typhoon & Typhoon 111 ? FEATURES!!
They both have the same filters, membrane, DI. They both produce zero TDS water. The difference is in the features.
The Typhoon is a great unit.. This is all you really need.
The Typhoon III has a ro only valve, which allows you to get water, before it goes thru the DI. This is good for filling up bottles of water of drinking water and for testing the water coming out of the membrane. It also has a DI bypass, and membrane fast flush, which help to extend the life the DI and membrane. The Typhoon III also comes with a hand held tds meter. The TDS meter is used to measure the total dissolved solids.
The replacement filter pack for the Dual Home Reef is our Dual pack. The Dual pack contains 1) 1o micron sediment filter 1) Five micron carbon block filter 1) One micron carbon block filter and 1) In -line D.I. cartridge. | | Difference in 75 and 100 GPD Membrane? | | Unless you need the volume of production that the 100 gpd membrane can provide, you are better off with a smaller membrane. Our systems are designed to produce -0- tds water. The 75 gallon per day membrane is rated to reject about 98% of the TDS. While the 100 gpd membrane is rated at about 90%. That difference changes the amount of work the DI has to do. If you do not need the large volume of water you are better off with the 75 gallon per day membrane. The non rejected TDS is mopped up by the DI. The less mopping the D.I. has to do the longer the DI lasts. | | Difference in Dual Home/Reef and Typhoon? | | In the Dual Home Reef system tap water travels through the reverse osmosis membrane is purified then on to the Storage tank . It then travels on to DI.cartridge. Most people use a Rubbermaid trash can or similar container to hold R.O.DI. water for their aquariums. A ball valve is provided to manually turn the water on and off at the container.
To make the D.I side of the Dual Home Reef side of the system totally automatic you need to order a Float valve. ($14.95)
The water stored in the pressurized storage tank has another exist . The pure water can travel out of the storage tank through a G.A.C. final filter up to the gooseneck faucet provided .That stream is the drinking water stream.
Both the TIII and the Dual are great units.
I did not buy that treatment system just for the tank , it is also for the family.
The Dual Home Reef guilt free R.O.D.I. water. | | How long to run water before using on new unit or after filter changes? | | One hour or 3 gallons of water. If you have a DI bypass open it. Remember to close it after the hour to make your pure water, | | How to shut down Typhoon | | The best way to turn off the typhoon is to close the pure water side, causing the ASOV to shut the system down. No water will be provided to the system because the ASOV has closed the supply line down. If you have a float valve this is automatic | | When to change Filters and DI? | | The sediment filter gets dirty for a living, change them when system water production slows down, or at least annually.
If you make less than 10 gallons of water every day you may go all year on the provided pre-filters . The pre-filters are sold as the three pack.
The reverse osmosis membrane usually lasts 3-5 years.
D.I. cartridges should be changed wheen the tds of the cartridge output climbs to between 5- 15 ppm.
All of our five stage R.O. systems use the same pre-filters . The three pack ,the three pack contains, 1) 10 micron sediment filter 1) Five micron carbon block 1) one micron carbon block.
Out T-pack is a three pack and one re-fillable D.I. cartridge . The T-pack is the complete filter, DI change out for the Typhoon series . |
