I recently installed a replacement Axeon 4021 RO membrane from Daqua into my van mount (along with new pre-filters).
I fully backflushed it before using, and got the TDS down to 7 ppm.
However, a couple of weeks ago, like an idiot, I connected up my fill / drain hoses the wrong way round, resulting in putting tap water into the bottom of the RO unit (ie...in through the 'exit port' of the unit, where treated water comes out). TDS is now at 27 ppm, but has been at 14 ppm and 24 ppm. In other words, all over the place.
Has anyone else ever done this?
Have I totally ruined the unit?
Will the pre-filters also be ruined?
Can it be fixed somehow? ?
Thanks in advance. ?
