hi all
          happy easter i was just wondering how often i need to flush my ro and how long for , i changed my filters about a month ago it was running at 0 on the tds meter and i turned it off for a day as i had the water i needed i turned it back on and its now running at 5 on the tds meter 
                                                                           many thanks busted

The TDS will always rise a little if using the RO for the first time after being turned off.

One way of getting around this (which is what I do) is to turn the RO to flush for the first 5 minutes of each use.

I filled my tank yesterday and flushed my ro for 1hr 15mins today.

ill try that later does it do any harm to the ro and do you leave the water still running ( sorry im new to this game )

The more you flush your ro the better,i think many people only flush there`s for a limited time because they would rather use that time for filling,i just happend to have the time ie bank holiday.If you start to fill and the waste water is milky it needs a good flush.

Hi Busted.

I flush my RO for 10 mins every other day, saying that i put it on flush this morning while filling for work today & for got to switch it back to produce. It ended up flushing for 6 hours  , glad i'm not on a meter.

My RO always produces at 4 or 5ppm so that sounds ok to me.
