I've heard about flushing through the Merlin filters and read about it in the manual, but doesn't say how to do it anywhere...
...will it reduce my TDS? How do I do it?
-
:-\ I didn't think you had to! :-\
-
Just thinking about tds
Do you use water softener, if so flush/regenerate that out with salt(cant remember what's its called) ;)

First of all you need a Merlin Flush tank (seperate item) - have you got one?
-
Had my Merlin for 3 and half years never back washed it and tds is still the same from day one ;)

i inquired in to this a while ago sure clean do them for 40 quid but he told me on the phone no one uses them there not needed although they do sell there merlins with an extra pre filter now to prolong filter life

No....
...but it sounds like I don't need to do it? TDS is creeping up, guess I'm just trying to put off changing the resin! :-\

You can't flush them without the tank, the first port on the Merlin (which is blanked off) is for flushing the system through.
-
If used for WC you must use a pre filter with merlins,GAPS recommend a 20 inch pre filter for them.
-
why a pre filter?
i'm on same membranes for 2 1/2 years,no back flushing either plus hard water at 430 tds and alls ok.3 bags of resin a year.
-
there is of course the prefilter in the merlin, which i've changed once
