Hi all
Recently got myself a 4040 RO unit, I have low mains tap pressure but I thought I'd hook it up anyway to see how little pure water is produced on standard pressure. (few trickles which I expected)
The thing is that when the waste water hose got caught and blocked (accidentally) it seemed to produce a reasonable amount of pure water with zero waste,
Surely if the waste is blocked then the pressure inside the vessel builds up which in turn produces more pure water? Without a booster pump.
The pressured water can only escape through the membrane and out of the pure water outlet
Am I right in thinking this or will it damage the membrane?
