After RO water ppm is 25 do I need new RO
« on: September 29, 2010, 04:46:13 pm »
It's Currently ok as I have DI in van but I was told my 4040 should produce water at 000ppm

Don't want to order a new RO just to be told it only works at a higher pressure.

open drain valve fully and flush water through so all is going to waste...do this for 20 minutes or so.
Your RO is dropping our Liverpool water from aprox 250 to 25ppm...that is OK and your DI does the rest.

If you lived in a soft water area you wouldnt have a RO...just a DI vessel.

Keep up Eddie!! ;D
