one other thing mate, where can i buy a fitting to go on the red waste hose so i can get it on to a garden hose, my nearest drain is about 6 meters away so need to do it with garden hose

The easiest thing to do is to extend the length of your waste pipe. To do this add a 1/4" to 1/4" John Guest connector as below:


and then add on another length of 1/4" John Guest pipe.

I'm glad you got your problem sorted. I also had difficulties when I first got my RO and this forum helped me. Mine was a little simpler, just a loose hose into the RO.

However, I thought I would just add that my RO unit has a RED pure pipe and a BLUE waste pipe. Thankfully I took TDS readings from both and rang Pure Freedom just to verify. They said they hadn't known of such a case but after reading this thread I can confirm it can happen.

Hope your luck gets better mate.

Trippy you sound happier now. Is it all sorted now? Are you producing pure water yet? What is your lowest tds now? Keep checking it before the di cos if your water pressure is very good you should be getting nearer 10 ppm before the water goes through the di.
I'm just being nosey really.  :P

As said replace the di resin. Also worth buying is another of those 10 inch cannisters and running 2 in tandem. That will guarantee 0 tds. Whereas i reckon it will be 1 or 2 ppm like mine is most of the time.

Once all is set up and working properly it is best to run the RO without connecting to the di vessel for a couple of minutes beforehand. That will squeeze every last bit of resin use out of it all.

sorry to hijack this but if you're getting around 18ft, the 17ft xtel is very light and comes with a very short closed length.
The best fibreglass pole out there for domestics in my opinion.

On the website you can select one of up to 7 different brushes.  The price I quoted was for a Vikan flocked rectangular.

Looking at Alex's price that will be for one of the Vikan brushes, 8mm hose with a nylon connector, with a plastic gooseneck  and then the pole. Have a look on his website if you want the prices of the other options (like I did :o)
