Used to flush mine each day for about 5 minutes and 20 minutes each sunday...it has produced good water for the past 2,5 years.

Cheers
Dave.

Just bought 300 gpd RO-MAN. Hardly any product water. Nothing coming out of green waste line. Loads ejected from short green line. Does this mean it's on 'flush'. If so, how do i get it to fill normally?

There should be a blue valve on the waste line which when the handle is in line with the pipe is in the flush position and when it's across the pipe it's in the production position.

Thanks Alex.
Think I've tried it in both positions (oops) But maybe not for long enough. Will try again tomorrow. Was wondering if I had to redirect any of the pipework. Hopefully not.
Thanks again, Gary.

thanks guys - makes me wonder how the old ones lasted so long when I never flushed them at all...they lasted about 3 - 4 yrs!!! Yikes!

Will certainly flush from now on!
