Post by: Milltown Cleaning on January 04, 2010, 03:31:13 pm: i went and did 2 largish houses, working conditioin where quite good considering!! Though i quickly ran out of water, thawing my 4040 now to make a stockpile and store it inside.

On the 4040, does anyone know how to best get as much water out of it as is possible to stop major ice blockages?

check your TDS m8, the RO may not be working properly and you may need a new membrane, once its thawed out run it for a while and keep checking it until it reads at 1 or 2ppm if it doesnt read any of them in under 5 mins ring sureclean and order a new part :)
