I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of a product that can do this in a resi setting:
The home has two water systems, a well system (with HIGH salt) and a whole home RO (producing into a cistern, w/pump)
The idea is to have the two mix together right before the point where they enter the homes supply, to adjust the salt content (2000+TDS) to a reasonable level with the RO water.
Problem:
Each system is plumbed into a pressure tank, so the pressure in each system will always fluctuate 20 psi or so, so say if they mix at a tee, one side will have more pressure and the mixture will be very inconsistent.
The solution?: A proportional mixing valve, if one sides pressure goes down, it compensates by reducing the flow of the other side.
It's fine if the mixture fluctuates a bit (up to 10% either way is probably fine) but it'll be a huge difference when one system is pumping out 50psi and the other is pumping out 30 or less.
I can't find a valve like this anywhere for a home setting (i saw one for industrial use, like 8") it'll be installed into 3/4 pex.
Help!
