Pollyanna Ed Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 So, I'm relatively new to the game and in the process of building out our distillery. Due to our water supply I know I will be proofing with RO water. Storage tank options are IBC tote with HDPE bottle or stainless. Does anyone use UV lights to maintain sanitation of the water as it sits in the tank? If you do, it seems that stainless would be the only way to go since HDPE doesn't hold up to UV. Or do you just let it sit in the HDPE tank and not worry about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatch Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 We use a pressurized tank provide by Buckeye Hydro. They have a very nice, compact RO system. With the pressurized tank we have a good flow. We stop the RO system prior to each proofing run and empty the tank once we are done proofing until the next time we need to proof. https://www.buckeyehydro.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Hydro Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The UV light would be on a recirculation loop, so the HDPE tank would not be exposed. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
