Do you have a pressure gauge on your system? Do you have a flush valve?
Before you go to the expense of replacing your membrane, why not check if your current membrane is still good? 1. Measure the output in gallons...
We'd be happy to help you out. It would be best if you give us a call when you're in front of the system. Russ 513-312-2343
That's a flow restrictor of a 100 gpd membrane. So assuming they matched the membrane to the flow restrictor (not a safe bet for many of the ebay...
Was the flow restrictor a cartridge type? If so, it would have a three or four digit number on the side - what was it? If its a capillary type...
flow restrictors are installed somewhere in/on the waste water tube, or are sometimes inside the fitting in the waste water port on the RO membrane...
You have what we call an "ebay special" there. My guess is it has a 100 gpd no-name membrane. Without knowing the history of the unit, I can't...
Remember that RO membranes function based upon the difference in the pressure on the feedwater side of the membrane versus the pressure on the...
You just have some air trapped in the DI housing - won't hurt anything, but may mess with your ASOV working if you have one. Russ
A good rule of thumb is to replace your sediment filter and carbon block after six months. A more precise way to maximize the usable life of these...
Sounds like what you're asking about is flushing it upon first installing it, right? If so, no, don't remove the flow restrictor. Just allow the...
You're thinking is right on the money here. The ratio reported by the OP isn't that far off from the 4:1 and water temp is the likely cause. If...
While you're at it, would be a good idea to add a pressure gauge add on kit to this order. W/o it you are pretty much flying blind. Russ
I assume that this is your DI water that reads 1 ppm? If so, probably not critical that you do anything, when it gets to 2, time to replace the...
As always - good advice from the desert rat!
Do you have a flush valve that is open? If your system ever worked (and it sounds like it did), then its unlikely a missing flow restrictor is the...
The unit will shut itself off IF it is equiped with an automatic shut off valve. The most common type of ASOV looks like the one on the right below....
If you PM us your email I can send you a set of instructions from our reef/residential series RODI - it includes a diagram re the plumbing. Russ
Just re-read your earlier posts. Do you have chloramines in your water? If not, no need for more than 1 good quality carbon block. And I would...
The lids are made so that the cartridges center themselves. So its not likely that flow was blocked by a cartride being a little off center. If you...
