Isolation valves

[Deleted member 10573]

Hi guys, 

I’m a newbie & I am hoping for your expertise… 

I’ve just got my van back from XLine with a 500ltr RO tank & I am not sure what way the isolation valves should be when filling up.
Also, how do I measure the PSI? 
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Not sure if any lads on here have an X-Line system but a few pics may help in order to give you the answers you need.

Thank you Iron Giant.,
I think first pic is open & second pic is closed, but if anyone can confirm this I’d appreciate it.

My 500ltr tank was taking ages to fill up so doubted myself… (but from my reading up, I think this may be normal).

I assume that's the delivery pump and not a booster pump for your R/O if it's the delivery pump for your wfp system then it makes no difference at all if it's open or closed when you producing pure into your van tank. 

Yes slow production is normal if they have supplied you with a standard R/O and not a 40/40  as for water psi you need to check your mains on your garden tap with https://www.screwfix.com/p/monument-tools-mains-water-pressure-test-gauge-11bar/82412 this will tell you what your mains water pressure psi is, how long is it currently taking to fill your 500ltr tank and what is your tap tds

A rule of thumb for most ball valves is linier direction with the thumbscrew in line with the water flow and horizontal to close the valve (or at a right angle to the direction of flow)
