Amen brother!
The permeate pump will act as an auto shut off valve if one isn't installed. You should reduce your tank pressure to 7 psi. As mentioned above,...
Also - if your DI resin was frozen - let it completely thaw before you use it (we usually recommend that you let it sit at room temperature for 24...
Yep. AZ is right on the money!
Good post by the Rat Man. Also - assuming your pressure gauge is mounted in the correct location (which it should be if installed by the...
You sure don't want any metal contact with the DI water - so no - don't put the tank back on, nor the faucet. So you'll have DI water coming out of...
Right - this makes sense. Your water was as clean as the system could make it after it goes through the DI stage - then you have metal contact at...
Re horizontal DI stages, from our FAQ's: Horizontal DI housings are a design intended to minimize the original cost of the system - you should be...
We do a steady flow of business re-working systems that are configured oddly so this one really caught my eye. 1. Horizontal DI stages are a...
Careful - you'll find RO systems at Lowes configured for drinking water - you'll not see RODI units there. Russ
Buying used systems can be a mixed bag. In this case (as mentioned above), you are looking at an RO system configured for drinking water. IF you...
The TDS3 meter comes precalibrated and should be fine right out of the box. It can be recalibrated - we have 342 ppm fluid for that. Russ
ALW - are you open to some constructive comments on this system? Russ
If you have a softener, by all means, supply softened water to the system. On the commercial systems we install a water softener is nearly always...
Some things to look for in a good system for this hobby: Good system: Standard-sized prefilters, membrane, and DI cartridge Brand name,...
If your TDS meter could measure it, you'd find the salt water (in your aquarium) would read somewhere between 35,000 and 45,000 ppm. TDS meters...
All membrane manufacturers spec their membrane's production and rejection rate at a specific pressure and a specific temperature. All I know of use...
lightning: The issue appears to be the high tds of your RO water (36 ppm). The "dirtier" your RO water, the quicker you will burn through your DI...
That system has some of the items you should be looking for: Standard-sized prefilters, membrane, and DI cartridge Brand name, high-rejection...
I don't think anyone would argue with the 0 TDS or very low TDS water produced by RODI or straight DI water being best - the arguements seem to be...
Separate names with a comma.
