Can I do this?

Hi everyone,

A few questions. 1st, with a tds of 057, does my household plumbing system need a water softener system? I’m guessing “no”

2nd, my house has a water softening system installed. (pictures). If I don’t need this system, can I turn this into a DI tank? It says the size is 10X54, so I’m assuming , and it looks like 10"X54". I have no idea what it looks like inside.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I don’t see the photos.

Crap,

When I previewed the post they were there.
Lemme try again.

Hi everyone,

A stumper huh?

In other news, I am very close to having my wfp set up ready to go, I am very excited. a big thank you to everyone here and to Shawn at RHG.

Thanks again,

1-No, 50 tds in your house is awesome…unheard of here in San Diego for sure.
2-I have no flippin’ clue. Anything is possible tho. I would ask NJones or Chris, or Shawn-sean-shaun…from RHG they should all know.

I would guess you’d need a new cap and special made riser tube. Also, how are you going to transport it? A 10x44 tank is pretty tall and if this is 54 you may have some height issues.

Thank You,

Yeah, I figured I would have to replace the “head” part. It might be more trouble than its worth. Transportation is no problem, I drive a full size, 1 ton, long bed pick up, with a 13’ aluminum ladder rack.

Basically, I was thinking maybe I could save some money by using this tank.

Thanks again,

Check w/ Chris and Alex. They sell the heads for the tank and maybe they could make you a riser or know who could.
