RO system ppm tee valve

[Den]

Question for all you RO buffs, every time I turn my RO on I disconnect the RO out pipe place in bucket for a few minutes to get the ppm down what I would like is some sort of tee valve so I don't have to physically disconnect from my DI vessel each time I turn the RO on, if ther is such a valve what's it called and do any of you have a link or something similar to what I have described.

Thanks.

I have a t piece in the pipe coming from the ro out to make 2 ro out pipes both with an inline tap

I have it so i have 1 tap open which goes to waste or bucket until tds drops

Shut that tap and open the other which is then your product water to go to di

Thanks to @Damo for that idea

Auto flush. Auto fill.

Nothing that fun /emoticons/smile.png

 

[Dave B]

How do you avoid the spike with auto fill?

 

[Damo]

I am making my own mate.

Mine only takes 5 or 6 seconds and it's back at 004 again.

 

[Damo]

My old 450gpd Takes around 90 secs

My new 40/40 takes around 60 secs

 

[Den]

Just changed the pre filters on my 450gpd yesterday was 006 ppm before now 007 even after a 1.30 hour flush, thought if anything if may have brought it down not sent ppm up before tap approx 250.

 

[Damo]

Will take around 24-48 hrs of production to reduce.

96 hours if membrane is replaced.

I wasn't aware of that thanks for the info.

Cheers.

That's only from experience mind.

 

[Den]

Thanks again I'm always looking for ways to learn and improve, the forum as been a blessing for me.

 

[Dave B]

It's different for everyone

I changed my filters this morning and ppm dropped instantly back to 6ppm with the waste shut completely so back to 3-4ppm with it open a touch

Only flushed for 5 minutes as i had flushed the whole thing for 5 minutes about half hour before

 

[Den]

Just noticed a slight leak on one of the tee connectors luckily I ordered an extra one yesterday would this cause my ppm to go up?

 

[Dave B]

Depends how bad the leak is i suppose

If it's slight it shouldn't affect the water pressure through the ro
