Title: Ro production and pressure v flow?
Post by: mufcglen on December 03, 2017, 12:08:44 pm
Changing my di resin this morning hopefully the last time before I convert to 4040 ro, I decided to see how many litres a minute my taps producing since fitting a proper copper joint to mains and was averaging 22 litres a minute, now with 65psi pressure and ppm of 70ish what should I be producing when I install the axeon hf5 membrane I have and is flow more important than tap pressure?

More than the 2lpm I get with 50psi. Waste to pure ratio 1 to 1.

Pretty much guaranteed a 1ppm of pure product water which is fine to clean with; so resin isn't necessary.

More than 2 lpm x 60 with an HF5 membrane.  (2 liters per minute x 60 = 120 liters per hour. ) ;D

Brilliant thanks pal I’ll be well happy with anything over 100litres an hour and hopefully as close to zero ppm as poss ;D
