Here’s a little-known fact: Your DI system doesn’t run 24/7. Install a recirculation loop with a conductivity sensor. When no one’s using water, the pump recirculates it, reducing stagnation and waste.
Some modern systems even have “sleep mode.” They’re lazier than a cat on a Sunday, but in a good way. This can cut your water usage by another 30%.
Combine that with a rain barrel for your lab’s landscaping needs, and you’re basically a sustainability superhero. Cape not included, but highly encouraged.
