I take it that you are aware that there should be a continous flow from the drain outlet. 

Roughly for every 1 litre of Pure Water produced, up to 3 litres goes down the drain.

Just a thought......

hi there is an amont of watere going into the tank ,so when you fill the tank via the fill port as you fill the tank you get a flow of water out of the drain port  at the same time??  ???

you will always get waste water coming out, so long as somes going in it is working, you can usualy control how much waste and each sytem is differant, but the higher the waste out the longer it takes to fill tank, but you do need a decent flow to help your membraines last,
- where are you, as there may be someone local who could help

Think you need to have it on flush for a while,before you fill the tank

If it's the first time you've flushed the system it needs to be done for at least 2 hrs, this is what pure freedom told me

to flush do you have to have it on fill with the flush valve open on the ro ?? its doing my head in dint get any basic operational bumff with system its just trial and error ???

Don't get the 8mm hose bit,the size of hose to fill should be like a garden hose

just set up for normal use without the brush attached and drain with pump on high setting to pump out water

Post by: lyndy on January 03, 2011, 07:54:14 pm
So you are draining tank? And flushing at the same time? When you flush there shouldn't be any water going into the tank

for new systems they have to be flushed for at least 2hrs then you should be ok
