Hi all i am new to this forum so im hoping you guys can help me out.
Iv encountered a problem that no window cleaner or RO specialist has come across that i have contacted.
I have called and visited many cleaning businesses and aquariums to see if anyone can help but to no avail.
I started wfp 3 years ago and all was hunky dorey... 2 months ago i moved home, after 2 weeks my tds spiked from around 12ppm to 30ppm then 50ppm 100ppm etc.
I gathered that since iv had the RO for 3 years the membranes must be knackered. So i changed the prefilters and the 3 membranes ( i have the 450gpd system) All was not well, to my horror after spending £150 it did not improve the tds one bit, in fact it was worse.
I then realised that the waste water was hardly running, it was just dripping out where it should be a 1:1 ratio.
I contacted the guy i bought it off and he sent me a new flow restrictor as this seemed to be the problem as the system was flushing fine.
I installed the new flow restrictor, it ran fine for a week then boom same again, hardly any waste water.
I got fed up of this game so splashed out on a brand new 450gpd RO. It came last week, it ran brilliantly producing water at a good pace and at 15ppm. Yesterday i turned it all on and de ja vu tds went up to 30ppm again. Waste water is dribbling out.
My house tds is about 450ppm which is lower than my last home. If the flow restrictor is getting clogged i cant understand why surely the prefilters will take anything like that out of the equation.
I am really pulling my hair out here i have zero money and zero water, please please please help me.
Regards
Darren
