Afternoon fellas, if I run my 300 god RO continually in the flush mode will it damage the membranes, long term.
The reason I say is because I get a much lower tds reading when flushing and this saves on resin!
I know you get a kit more waste water but I'm not on a meter
Thanks

Sorry , this predictave text on my phone is a pane , should have checked my post b4 I posted ha ha

Nobody ? Any ideas ?
They must have all gone straight down the pub !

if you want to run it like that you can, but the membranes are designed to work under pressure.
so will lose your production rate, and waste a lot of water.
you would be better of getting a booster pump for what you have, or add another membrane or larger membranes.

for best answer talk to the people who supply the gear , someone like RO Man

Thanks gto,
I keep planning to get a booster pump but never get round to it. Just more worried about damaging membranes by flushing continually
-
I get a higher reading in the flush mode. The reading should go down as pressure is increased.
Maybe you need to change filters/membranes.

If you are filtering water then your not flushing the R.O.
Flushing means running all the water to waste and clearing the R.O. membranes.
-
confusing, you only flush for 15 - 30 minutes to rinse the membranes. then turn back to make pure, i use a 120psi shurflo pump as my booster, does a good job. ::)

On the flush mode of the 300gpd Ro-man unit you still get water going through the membranes but not so much, meaning you get a far higher ratio of waste.
