I just started phase 1 of our water test. The plan is to fill the tank over the course of a few days, and then let it sit for one week. Then next weekend, provided there are no leaks, we'll train it, and then start working on putting up the walls and completing the fishroom.

I have complete faith in our builders and don't expect any leaks at all.

    That garden hose looks like a little r.o. line compared to the tank and plumbing!

    Speaking of R.O. that RO filter you have in the back looks huge! Either you are pushing some large GPD, or your canisters are extra large for longer usage? Maybe both?

    Definately an exciting time!

    is that garden hose going to be able to fill the tank with that much pressure on it?

    We use a garden hose to fill our pool in the summer without any problems.

    Can't wait to see this up an running. Congrats on getting water in it.

    The garden hose will actually move to the top of the tank as it fills more and more, we're just trying to limit the splash back.

    The RO/DI is 300gpd, with 21" canisters for longevity. The thing is a beast and runs like a dream. Just go to finish the wall behind it ASAP now that we're assured the tank is water tight.

    Pretty sure he meant filling it from the bottom and overcoming the weight pressing back down on it as it fills... but regardless if she's moving the hose up as it fills it won't be a problem
