DI Water Purifier

[reckless]

Hi fellow reefers,

I was searching online for DIY Distilled water purifier but theres not much about it. I know that the typical 3 stage purifier can cost as a cheap as $80. Was just wondering any of you DIY fans ever done one out of bottles and tubes instead? Was thinking of doing one using 1.5ltr bottles. Any suggestions?

Ah...so basically its just water running through the pvc pipe thats filled with the purifying media? any pressure in the water flow or just free slow running water? any ideas?

Any idea where to get the di resin? thanks

have done so before... believe the water pressure from tap need to be quite slow when comparing to specialised units such as crystalpro ETC...

Below is one of the best posting on this topic. I modded my crystalpro last stage using ideas from here.
