jcardona1's Super-easy DIY 24/7 water changer!

Yeah I didn't run a sediment filter, but I would add it after as Lopaka mentioned. You don't want anything clogging your drip emitters (if you go the dripper route). The chloramine filter will work at any pressure, but the emitters won't. You'll need a good pressure regulator to bring your psi down to about 25-30psi, otherwise you'll blow your drippers off, ask me how I know If you have chloramines in your water, you'll need a longer contact time between the water and the activated carbon. I think filterguys recommends flow rates slower than 15gph to effectively remove chloramines. This is not an issue, considering drippers go from 0.5 ~ 2gph

Excellent. I went ahead and bit the bullet. Going to model my 24/7 drip after yours. Thanks!

REVIVE!

So what were your conclusions on this system Jose (and anyone else who tried it)? Were you happy with it? Would you change anything?

I think it's a great setup, and really don't think I'd change anything. I can't use it now since I'm using RO water, but for any other large tank with easy access to a gravity drain, there's no easier way to do it!
