Hi troops, whats the best whay to set your RO system up for use as a home device going to a storage tank? I thought it was just a simple case of ataching the outdoor hose and away we go, silly me. I have just got a load of instruction and im strugeling throught them but find it hard to read and understand, so could somepne please put it in laymens terms ;D.

If its from ro-man the instructions are easy to follow
ive got a 100gpd system from ro-man i have connected it directly to the outside tap using the connector provided all the water pipes are colour coded ive got mine as follows red for waste water green for input water and blue for the pure water . Make sure youve got a tds meter
best of luck :)

Thanx brett. I think i have the wires sorted out,its just attaching it to the mains now, mine has a saddel joint that needs to be put throught a pipe, how did you attach it to the tap?

Hi Biscute.
I thought the same as you when i got mine, it done my head in >:(.
As Brett said. The pipes are all colour coded. Just follow the instructions & you will get there. when its together you will kick yourself cause it is easy, i did.

Cheers mac i have the flow, waist and pure water pipes sorted out now, it like i said i just dont understand how to get the feed, you say you run it off a tap but mine has a saddle join that needs to pierce a copped pipe.
-
Same as mine, i put a stop end on the copper pipe, one of those plastic push on jobs. Fit the saddle joint & then wind in the bit that will pierce copper pipe.
Then plastic pipe goes from saddle joiner to Sediment filter.
Dont forget to back flush for 10 mins before you start producing.

i didnt bother with the saddle joint i bought the tap connector from ro-man i was a bit shocked to find one isnt supplied with the unit. If you decide to go for the tap connector make sure when you fit it to your outside tap you use plenty the white plumbers tape as the connectors crack easily. i think we went through a couple of them >:( So i suggest buying a couple i think theyre quite cheap

Well done mate. Dont forget your filters need changing every 3-6 months.

If i like it then im going to get a trolley and and another backpack. i used purereflection.co.uk and cleantech for the parts and both were great to be honest, i placed my order late monday and had it all deliverd last night and first thing this morning.

Whats the lowest tdi you can get away with? is it 000 or can it go up to bout 0003 and still be ok ?
-
biscute can i ask how much did it cost for you to set up with the backpack
-
Around 700 for the full hit, go to pruereflection they have a tally and a list of products, i found it very usefull.

Some on here reckon you can clean up to 010ppm, for me its only 000ppm.
The reason i would only work with 000 is because it is called pure water cleaning & not nearly pure water cleaning. Set you standard Biscute & stick to to it mate.
