Title: My RO has just popped and cracked infront of my eyes !!
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on April 26, 2009, 08:52:48 pm: Got back from knocking some doors today, had something to eat and a ciggy. Went to check on my water production and there was water on the side.

Turned everything off, mopped up, but couldnt see where the water had come from.

Set my RO up again on its own with lots of space. Turns the pump on and about 30 seconds later i hear this almighty POP and can see a crack at the bottom right housing and water pING out.

Thats my RO knackered. The pump has been on about 4 hours. Ive had it on longer with no problems.

Why has this happened ?

RO-Man states pumps tested to 100psi which is what it was running at.

How come this has happened ? have i got a dodgey casing ? Last time i tried to contact RO man it took them 9 days to reply.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

JP contact Gaps water and by a 40 40 RO, yes it costs more but so does not being able to run your business properly.

One of the casing to a 10inch pre filter did this to me the other day no reason just went, and I was not even using it as it is redundent. I guess a weaknest in the making causes this problem.
