Hi

just looking at setting my 40 inch RO up its stainless steel just wonderding on the ends of the housing it has one cap for the pure water and one for the waste water. also on the input of the housing it has the same two holes?

is that right? or do i have 1 wrong cap.. because i thought in the inlet of the housing would just pe one hole as thats all that connects to it.

Hi Dave

Both end caps are the same.

The inlet end of the membrane has a rubber seal on it, to this end the end cap should be blanked in the centre hole and the inlet water should come in on the outer hole.

The outlet end has no rubber seal on the membrane, the end cap is identical to the inlet end cap except that the centre hole is for the pure water and the outer hole is for the waste water.  To this you should connect the quarter turn valve so you can regulate the back pressure.

[dave0123]

ahh thanks alan,

so once the membrane is installed the correct way should all come clear 

[alanwilson]

yeah, you should have got a blanking plug for the inlet - it goes on the centre thread.

any more probs just shout - really loud.

[dave0123]

I havent recived any sort of blanking plug for it, just looked at all the conections

[alanwilson]

any engineering/plumbing supplier will stock a blanking plug for it - half inch bspt.

[dave0123]

yer thanks alan,

will pop into local plumber tuesday

I have another question regarding the 40 INCH RO


just mouting it in garage and carnt figure out how brackets. iv bolted the 2 blackets to the wall and placed the housing into it. Then theres 2 other bits of plastic but dont seem to clip on anywere or anything carnt figure it out.

The brackets go on a certain way, just try turning them round and they should click on.

[dave0123]

i have tried they go on but not how they should there to loose

[colinyates]

I also had a problem with my corbra clamps for my Di and ended up wrapping a rubber sealer round them so the clamps went tight. Not the answer though!

[dave0123]

its the second bit thats the problem once you have pushed the housing in then the little bit that completes the bracket doesnt really go on.

there still being held but just not very tight il have a play later.

This is how i click mine in...
i hook the bottom one in first then push in the middle and it clicks the top in fine, you may need to fiddle about abit with it..

Hope this helps...

Bazz...

[dave0123]

Thanks bazzy

do you have to press hard?? do they fit snug onto the housing or just lose?

[Bazzy1999]

give it a good push and it should snap in... try the next slot if it dont work and turn it over the other way round aswell... it will fit and fit very tightly but the trick is to hook one end in first then push in the middle and the other will click in... its a bit of a pain but once its in you wont move it..

Bazz...

[dave0123]

think i must have a diffrent ones because theres no chance there going to click in there just isn not enuf space.. il take a picture in the morning and show you.


are the plastic housesing a diffrent size to the stainless steel ones maybe? only thing i could think is i have wrong ones?

[Bazzy1999]

I would of thought there be the same size (Inside) but outside could be a little smaller..
Stick a pic up when you have a chance and ill have a look..

Bazz...

[dave0123]

il stick a pick up in the morning mate.

the stainless steel is strong so just thinking maybe the plastic on the outside is slightly bigger and i have the plastic ones as theres loads of splaces 2 push up to click in but.. just wont go in used lots of force then but no chance lol.... so if the are 2 diffrent sizes i would need a smaller one which would be bit easy to push up not as much... so it  clicks in

if that makes sence.. il post a pic anyway in morning

[alanwilson]

dave, the outside diameter of the steel housings is slightly less than the plastic.  Easiest way round this is a very small amount of sponge/foam between the housing and the clamps.  Will tighten it up nicely.

bet your glad you went for the stainless steel?  Nice looking ain't they?

[Bazzy1999]

Whats the difference between the stainless steel ones and the plastic ones (performance wise)?
