Pre filter leak

Got my new ro system from pure freedom today. Fist time with wfp so a wee bit unsure as to what I am doing.

Set up as shown on YouTube video. Turn on tap to flush out and water is leaking out of the top of the pre filter housing. Turned off and unscrewed it. Put back on and still leaking. Any ideas? It is the clear one, don't know what it is called.

Double check on the housing case , there should be a o ring below the threads .

Thanks Natty1972 I'll check in the morning but I don't think there is an o ring on it.

There should be , if you un screw one that's not leaking you'll see the o ring, ( it will be either black or clear ) that's what seals the filter housing to the unit . Don't tighten too tight aswell!

I've the same issue. Didn't realise there was supposed to be an o ring, I'm going to have to check it again. Makes sense, tried ptfe tape and it did nothing to help

Think I've sorted it. Took filter off took rubber out (it was there) felt like there was a wee kink in it. Put it back and it's all sexy. (So far)

Next problem. Been flushing for two hours. Blue pipe is reading 180ppm (that's before di) is this too high to put through di filter? Think I read that needs to be under 30?

Am I doing something stupid?

what the reading of the other output, they may be the wrong way round.

my RO goes into DI at 6ppm from 430ppm

when you flush your getting 90% waste is that right.

when producing it should be 3-1 ish, 3 waste to 1 pure is it still the same.

When flushing yes the waste is much bigger flow. At that point my treated water is 150. When tap is other way flow is 60/40 ish and treated reading goes up to 180.

it sounds like something is plumbed wrong to be that high.

you probably have already. but check all the pipes again.

can you check each membrane output seperatly. see if they are working as individuals.

Right. Took all membranes out and cleaned them and the housings. They were full of black sh1t. So now before di the reading is 22ppm. However the water coming out of the di is 21ppm.

Aaaagggghhhh.

Any ideas?

What DI Filter you have?

could be you have killed the di already.

How?

if you have been putting 180ppm water into it, it wont last very long.

Water never went into di until it reached 22.

Your Di has got resin in ?? ( don't take that the wrong way)

you should be getting 0ppm then.

make sure in and out are the right way round and its all sealed correctly.

sound as though the water goes in and straight out if the ppm is nearly the same

Looking at the photo there is no Resin in the DI vessel.
