A 4040 needs prefilter housings with 1/2" fittings. Anything smaller isn't big enough.

Does that mean I can't use my existing pre-filter housings that have a 1/8" thread to 1/4" tube?

Thanks,

Duncan

That is right - you can't use them. 1/4" tube will not supply the r/o with enough water and definitely not enough when you come to flush the r/o membrane.

Just ordered a new system from GAPSWater.co.uk. Spoke with June who was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Thanks to everyone for your advice.

Kind regards,

Duncan
