Title: help !
Post by: giftedk on October 06, 2005, 07:22:32 pm

Hi all,   Ive got an ro man 200 and left it on pirifying all day, when i returned from work it had produced about 50 litres (not good).  It seems to have got really slow although it was quite slow in the first place, I ve never done a backflush and have had it for two months could this have anything to do with it ?  Also earlier on i took the cases of the membranes and emptied them out and cant get them too sit back in there little round slots, does this matter ?
 Its looking like  no work for me tommorow

Gaza is right.

The bloke at RO-Man (who we bought our RO off) kept saying how inportant it is to flush the membranes everyday for 5 minutes.

I think, and I may be wrong but I think, that if the membranes are removed wet then they expand a little when out the casing.

Cheers

cheers lads, but i got my stuff from omnipole and they came with no paperwork whatsoever, madness i know.  Anyone know how i backflush it ?
Also i live on high land and am above the level of the water tower which i think effects the pressure>

Water pressure is the key factor with an ro.
Higher pressure = more water

Our one comes with a switch that removes the pressure of water within the RO unit and flushes the whole lot down the drain.

We have a pump that pump the mains water under pressure into the RO unit, then after the RO unit, there is a restrictive valve that keeps the RO system pressurised.

Do you have both those?

A pump to pump up the pressure before the RO unit and something to restrict the outlet flow of water after the RO unit?
