i kinda doubt most guys here have pinterest.

study shows that only 30% of men use pinterest.. and that's based upon having an account. I think the actual rate of usage among men would be even lower.

i swear it's like crack to women though.

Well, Ok, you saw my water-making side of the house, so I might as well show off the water-cooling side of the house too. : )

My TECO 1/2HP chiller is housed in an enclosure that is an exact scale model of my full-size gazebo (which houses a hot tub)

I designed and built both (just for the heck of it/to see if I could do it).

We don't disagree, it's just an easy way for us to archive all the water-making stations people shared with us on various message boards. We'll be able to share the link with anyone looking for inspiration and, if hobbyists want to learn more, they can click through to the individual board.

My RO filter pumps out 5tds water


No booster pump either


- Water General 4 stage 150gpd RO
- Water General 2 stage DI
-2x 65g mixing barrels
(www.plastic-mart.com)
- Jebao 12000 DC mixing pump
-spears 1" schedule 80 ball valves

When I mix new salt, I just fill the salt container with approximately 45 gallons. Then I add 1-50g bag of instant ocean salt. I'll let it mix for a few hours, and add water until I get the salinity to 1.026. This way I never have to measure out the salt.

LMAO! Let's be honest, I AM about the height of your average/everyday Hobbit (or so my best friends keep telling me)

This would save a TON in energy costs, LOL!





- Building a 10-foot Gazebo = Pretty cool
- Building a Mini Gazebo = Pretty weird
- Fitting in a Mini Gazebo = Pretty freaky
- Partying Down with MiniME = FREAKIN' PRICELESS!

Being so messy I would spill water on the table holding my water containers and the table started to cave in. I decided to make another table with old wood and purchase some 2x4. I have a gap between each wood to allow water to drain.

Very easy fix...
Coat your entire table in Fiberglass resin (simple two-part liquid, brush-on jobby) and it will last longer than you or me.
Archeologists will be digging up your table 5,000 years from now wonder if it were an elephant stand or something, LOL!

If you look at my photos at post #23 you'll see that both the table top and stubby tank stand were coated. Both are treated lumber to start with.

I also built and encapsulated a 10-foot redwood bench in the stuff:
