ok mate will do tomor, too dark now

[Nathanael Jones]

You did put the filters & membrane in right?

[bad trippy]

the RO was allready set up i didnt have to put any cartriges in or any membrains, the instuctions were very simple, connect to the inlet, switch to flow setting to flush for two hours without the di, then after the two hours connect the di set the little tap to non flow setting and fill

its weired because the tds hand held metre which is brand new from pure freedom first of all gave me a reading of 54 then like 76 then 115 then 250 odd then 300 odd then 400 odd. Im wondering if the tds meter is faulty because it can tell you half a dozen differant readings from the same cup of water, this can range from say 250 to 385 all in a matter of seconds???

Trippy you can buy calibration fluid to check the TDS meters.

Sounds like the waste is filling your tank and not the pure. That's the only way you can get a higher tds than the supply surely?
Measure the tds coming out of your present waste outlet.

just checked the waste its reading 64???

hope your tank is as baffled as you  

[Nathanael Jones]

are you using the water that comes out of the hose with the flush tap? that's the waste pipe,.....

[bad trippy]

what colour hose do you have going into the tank?

the hose is blue

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

What colour hoses do you have?
I have a white hose going from the DI vessel into the tank, Blue going from the outlet from the RO into the DI and a Red one for the waste.

[bad trippy]

will re check it all again in the morn, been a bad start because my new trolley arrived 2 days ago and that thing refuses to charge now this, never mind it will all come out in the wash lol

thats what i have too mate, exactley as you have, the water the comes out the di comes out very fast the waste which is red only dribbles out

Sounds to me you have then the wrong way around and your chucking the good stuff down the drain, be aware of the flush tap as that can also be confusing

if i had it the wrong way around then it would mean something like 95% waste to 5% pure. As i have it set up now the water comming out the di is fast and with plenty of flow as opposed to the waste which only trickles out

[jeff1]

your waste water should be running much faster than your production water trippy

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

is the tap for the waste running parallel to the hose? if it is then its on flush.
I've sent you an email trippy.
