Resin,membranes, have you been changing your pre filters and flushing your membranes regularly?

could also be water works in your area sometimes this changes the tds of your tap water higher therefor more work for your system etc hope this helps.

Post by: Crystal-clear on September 23, 2011, 10:29:20 pm: Ull have to replace the resin ,

try give it a shake first it might just get you a bit more out of it 80tds is low but if i were u i would still get an RO
Title: Re: tds rising help
Post by: windiewasher on September 24, 2011, 12:05:44 am: I would have a ro with water with tds of 80!
My membranes have shot it on my ro and its coming out at 57 and eats resin for fun!
Just ordered my new membranes as i will save in the long run when the water is coming out at less than 20 out of the ro!

Post by: dazmond on September 24, 2011, 07:10:37 am: are you taking the pee barry? i never know when your being serious!!! ;D ;D ;D

if your DI only try running the tap to DI slower when dionising.check the tds of your tap water.mines normally 35-45 but last year it shot up to 110 for about a month.shake the vessel a few times as well.

if you seem to be using more resin than normally its more than likely your tap tds has shot up mate.

best wishes

Post by: barry mallett on September 24, 2011, 08:33:30 am: thanks for the info guys . got me thinking about an r o now . my mates got one , think its a 40/20 . presume this gets the tds down by half .anyway if i did get one would i put iy after the pump but before the di . or would it make more sense to put it after the di , especialy with the tds rising in my di , then the ro would bring it down , any ideas .cheers barry :)

They looked good in parts of the game last night but I wouldn't like to call it.
I wouldn't be backing Warrington at odds on, either.

Post by: elite mike on September 25, 2011, 10:44:44 am: if your tds is around 80out of your tap you will not need di after your ro

should be around 000 which will save you money on resin
