Haven't worked since the 23rd so today I decided to go and get my van cleaned and fill up my tank, swap out my filters etc ready for work next week but as I was driving it to the car wash place I could hear the lumps of ice cracking and smashing about in the tank - oops.
Got it cleaned and had the heating up full whack and the ice turned back to sloshing around like normal but when I got home the RO housing was frozen solid to the tank so I can't swap out my filters. I gave them a good rub down with a scrim and switched on my pump and water started coming out of the hose and the waste flush is pouring out whilst the tank's filling up (so the system is functioning). But I still can't get the housing off. Fortunately they probably have a few more days life in them and my TDS is only 1ppm when I tested it pre membrane flush, but I imagine this is going to be a problem next week too as the temperatures don't look to be getting much above freezing for the next few days.
I've ordered some Isopropyl to put in the tank tomorrow when it arrives to stop that freezing over but obviously that's for the already filtered water.
What can I do to defrost them?
