I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread for information about how well your RO performs.
I've seen a few threads concerning RO's on here recently and it seems a few of us are experiencing issues.
I've been having major issues with mine lately, @spruce & @kevinc250 have been helping me and have spent a lot of their time answering my questions.
I have a PF setup, 20" prefilters, 40" RO. Tap TDS is about 200PPM. Pressure has dropped from 40psi to 20psi, but tap pressure is 40psi! The TDS coming out of my RO shot up to 044PPM. Kev & Spruce have had a lot of input into my problem. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new membrane. I got it today and flushed it for 2 hours. After the 2 hours I closed the gate valve down (with fingers crossed). I'm getting 20psi still but the TDS has gone down to 017PPM. Not brilliant but a whole lot better than 044PPM. My next purchase I think is going to be a booster pump.
So, here are the questions; what is your....
Input TDS?
Output TDS?
Pressure?
Size of filters & membrane?
Booster pump used?
What problems do you have with your system that you just can't get your head round?
Maybe this could be made a sticky @Gav, @Dave B, @Chris33?
