Title: help needed with system
Post by: suds window service on July 19, 2009, 07:41:51 pm: my mate has just bought this system, problem is it,s just making a trickle of water.
its making only 24 litres per hour.
it,s producing a lot of waste water!
do theses systems need a certain water pressure to produce IE booster pump?
or could the filters need changing

Is it still on flush mode ?

whats his pressure ?

You need about 60psi for a good pressure or a booster pump is needed.

Sounds to me like its still flushing the membrane

it should produce more pure, turn one way will produce more waste less pure, and the opposite way should reverse it.

I'd also be tempted to have a peek at the membrane and probably replace. Shure as eggs the last guy wouldn't have spent any money servicing it just before selling it. Also take a reading of the tap pressure where it's being filled.
