i went to see a local window cleaner today who was having probs with his RO
its a 200 gpd RO
tap TDS is roughly 400
coming out of the RO is 45
this is way high compared to mine which is only a 50 GPD RO but i get 005 out of mine
any idea's
-
Maybe refit all the joints and connections in the right order, otherwise maybe the RO cartridge is duff.
-
what was the pressure going in , if its low ... 40 psi it may need booster to improve it mine goes in at 100 psi and i have the same readings as your chap

joints all look in the right order and the RO was ok
i should have added its about 9 months old
its got me stumped

his pressure is about 40, but he says it was fine for 6 - 7 months
it doesnt add up
surely the RO isnt dead after 9 months

Hi Matt
It's not a 50gpd from RoMan by any chance?
-
HI Matt.
Does he flush regular, also Kirsty from Gardeners said to me about changing filters every 4-6 months, if i remember right the 3 were only about £20. May be his filters need changing.

Spoke to a mate on phone, he said the same, how old are his filters?

original i think, so 9 months old
-
change the filters!! The prefilter needs changed once a month and the carbon block every 2 months or before, the membranes could b damaged now if chlorine has got into the membranes

If it's a reading from one of those 'orrible cheap in-line tds meters it might be worth checking against another meter.

So how come they're a lot more expensive than handhelds?
-
my inline reader always reads between 001-002 where as my handheld reads 000.
