Hey AGAIN lol.

Right just finished setting up my ro in my kitchen for work tomo, Havent insulated the Ibc so thought id produce in flat (loft conversion) and have a hose out the winow with the pure into a tank.

Here are my figure, hope they sopund safe and like things should be and im not damaging my Ro.



Have a Hf5 40-40 with two 10" pre filters and a 25 ltr Di vessel after.

Played aboiut a lot with the waste and come up with this.
Valve on waste 9 o clock position is flush and 12 o clock in closed.
I have it at eleven o clock. This produces 60/40 in favour of waste.
Tds in 305 out of ro 9/10 after Di 000.
Pressure with the valve at eleven it 55psi (before pre filters and 49psi after)
Very excited about using the slx, an hope my figures are good, and sound safe on the membrane.

Could of had it 50/50 maybe eve a little more in favour of pure without much tds growing, but didnt know what this would do to the Ro?

Ho often should I flush if im doing 350 ltr per day? and what should I do on the days I dont use it? keep it full and warm?

Thanks for all your help of recent people, and thanks Ian as the commercial you helped me with gave me the push.

Tomorrow when things are going wrong it may be a different story lol!!

Well didn't get to use the slx as it was to cold today and snowing, raining and hailing all fay. Really screwed at the moment. In for almost a week and need the cash after all the spending...

Was cold in van this morning after having window open for hose in!

Get out and start work  , you should not have an excuse to stay at home like the trad cleaners as our scrim is not going to get wet

Been snowing and stuff today. In all honesty what acceptable or do abke in this weather. Can water fed be used whilst snowing? Does the ro set up some safe mate?

krave are you going to fit external ports mate? how big is your tank? mine is 650ltrs and its still filling up 6 hours after i started , just ordered a in line tds as well so i can moniter the tds levels easier

[krave]

350 litres mate,

Filled up in just over 2 1/2 hours.

Not got ports, as will be using my tatic, Just need funds to build a shed, So this is a temp messure.

I will be orderig 2 x inline tds meters at some point real soon.

You got a 4040? Whats your flush valve and waste like etc, and your tds before after?

yes got the 40/40 off someone on here,

the flush what and waste what (haha totaaly lost on some of this wfp stuff)? tds before is only about 60 odd and after its down to 001 002. ordered my duel in line tds off gardiners before and its only about 25 pound, not in stock though but will be on its way here soon.

Sorry my keyboard is crap. What amount of pure do you have to waste? Maybe you can shut the waste off a bit to make it produce more pure??

[chris@c.m.s]

I think in this weather you have to take into consideration the hazard of water turning icy, so I stop cleaning front doors with the pole and reduce the flow anywhere that is likely to freeze on pathways ect, Ideally start early finish early before the temperature drops, IMO.

how do you tell?

the temps aint that bad here at the moment to be honest, plus im going to buy a bag of grit and keep it in the van. if its going to be bad i will leave some on the step

To measure the correct ratio of pure to waste, get a stopwatch, measure the amount of pure produced, and the amount of waste produced. So let's say after 1 minute you had 1500ml of pure, and 3000ml of waste. Add the two together, which is 4500ml. That is 100%, divide this by 100. Which is 45. To get the percentage of pure and waste, divide the 1500 and 3000 in this example by 45.

1500ml pure = 33.3%
3000ml waste = 66.6%

Simple really, Copy and pasted Tims hard writing being lazy!!

I have as above 60/40 in favour of waste,

So every ltr of pure I have 1.5 ltrs of waste.

This made my tds a bit lower and pumping out pretty quick at 55psi.

ill measure it tomorroe then, is that the recommended amount is it? ive turned my tap off now and its only 3/4 full, will finish filling it tomorrow as im working from my barrels tomorrow with my backpack because i am missing a part for my reel which will be here friday. its been one of those days for me
