One Big A$$ RO Unit

[B-Willz]

I thought you guys might enjoy this. I am building the new water treatment facility for El Paso Electric. This is the RO unit being flown into the building during construction. It is to big to fit inside after construction, it is 25ft long 8ft high and 8 ft wide. It will be coupled with 6 sand filters and could fill a swimming pool in about 5 minutes.

A swimming pool in 5 minutes??? Might need a float valve for water changes.

That looks similar to the one in my plant except that we are going through some soft water units, filters, and carbon beds and there is a large DI system right after the RO.
I don't use this water for home because they add surfactants before the RO and I worry that it may be no good for a reef tank. I could be wrong
but better safe than sorry
