Just got a 40" ro should it go flat or upright? anyone got any tips?
-
looking at the pre filters and the way it is attached to the back board, I would say it stands upright. (not that it makes a difference which way, flat or upright)
-
Dosen`t matter with the RO.
-
just wondered if gravity played any part.

Set it up a couple of hours ago and I can't believe the production rate. Goes in from mains 253 out at 2-3 and the pure flows like tap water.
I really can't believe this. I had a 300gpd plus booster pump and it comes out at a trickle i can hardly hear dripping into the ibc. Very often i've left it on all day and overnight just to fill the van.
I thought i'd got a good system. I didn't.
This isn't any dearer than the two combined (300gpd plus booster), doesn't require electric, and is lots quicker.
I really wish i had known about this sooner.
Because of the cold i had to take my 300 in, and then when my ibc froze up produce on the van overnight. When the time came to reconnect in situ i had problems and a flood blowing the house electrics and soaking thousands of pounds worth of stock. So i phone cleantech for a new pump because i've broke two. But There are no pumps available, i've got low mains pressure, so i asked what my options were, and this was suggested.
so far so good.

They are good and the output would double at least with a 24/7 pump I think mine was one of my better investments ;)
-
where did you get your one from thanks

we told you ages ago they were better lol,save the other 1 for filling the fish tank. ;D

Silly question time.......................doesn't this require a membrane like a "normal" RO unit?????
-
40 40 are the future ;D ;D
Got one on my van mount fill up my 650 tank in 5 hours 30 mins
-
I very often fall into the trap of thinking i know everything.But i suppose suppliers tell us what they think we want to hear- the cheaper option is adequate. Anyway now I know.
is this similar or the same as you have then NWH? merlin, 4040, a 40" ro (which mine is apparently), it's all a blur to me.
-
40x40 is the best thing for us,look on gaps water at there twin RO with twin 20" pre fliters.The base model is about £2500 and makes more than you`ll ever use on your own or as a team,it`s almost silent in use and has built in flush mode as and when it will need it,just turn on and forget.

Not sure that was aimed at me but my Ro and pump was supplied by Gardiners.

Clive I have my 4040's one upright and one sideways, it makes no difference, im glad you upgraded to a better ro ;D
I went for a 4040 straight away as I wanted the best straight away, I did after this try a 300 gpd and a merlin just to see what others were using, i sold both and now have 2 4040's you add a booster pump to your 4040 and make sure you hold on to something so you dont fall over 1000L in a couple of hours, I am all for saving time even if it costs more to start. As they say "time is money"

Thanks all for info. I'm learning.
Is mine a 4040 then?
-
I had about 200 ltr left in my system last night, started producing at about 8 last night, went out at 8.20 this morning and the water was near the top but still filling, do you think i need a booster pump.

what size tank (if 1000ibc do you have low water pressure? I guess you do, a booster pump will speed it up no end. So I would say yes Chris but dont leave it on over night or you will have a paddling pool by morning.

No i got a 650 purefreedom all in van.

Hi Clive
Who supplied your new RO and how much?
Thanks

all I can think is either, you have put to much resin in vessal, your new pre filter is knacked, or your water pressure has dropped, one more thing how often do you flush out the ro ???

cleantech £523 inc vat delivered next day.
