New to RO Hi guys
I have been using RO for not to long now about 4 or 5 weeks and seen how it's the way to go for me. I had a PH of 8.5 and is now 7.3 and the Kh is now 35.8 from 125.3 and the TDS is down to 120 from 285 and this can only be good for the koi if I can keep this stable the only thing is it takes some getting the hang of. As it's new to me I am in and out of the garage every hour until I can feel ok with the water mix but i think I getting there with the help of some good friends on here.

Awards Showcase Hiya Shevy
What's for sure is that you have gone into this at the deep end; the more water in the system the easier it is to keep things stable.
Think it will take some time to get a feel of how things interract in your system so just go gently would be my tip for the day.
