Hi all,
I've ordered a distribution system and then purchased two 11l di vessels. They are streamline filter plus. Also have a dual inline tds meter I'm going to use.
Just wandered around town looking for connections for the di vessels and came away with some 1/2 " connections and garden hose but then came home and checked the tds meter and it's very small. Reading around I'm guessing it's 1/4".
Couple of questions. Should I filter when filling up the distribution system or after? I'm thinking after but will that put strain on the pump?
Secondly what connections do I need? My di vessels didn't come with connectors. Is there a standard size? What diameter is the tubing in gardiner poles? When I was in town I saw some connections have stops built into them or would they have only been in the larger 1/2" connects and I won't find them in the 1/4"? I think I should build in some isolation so I don't soak the van when I disconnect things to swap over the di vessels and any maintenance.
