really slow ro
« on: December 09, 2010, 09:09:48 pm »
took ro in before the cold snap but when i set it up sunday water production was really slow put new membranes in today but just the same stripped everything down no blockages or anything leaking but still very slow water gushing out of waste but just a trickle out of pure could this be cause of the cold weather cant see anything wrong at all just orderd a di vessel 11 lt to use in winter think it might be less hassle tds bout 100 use bout 200lts a day plus on meter is this gonna be an expensive way of making pure water cheers for any replies

Its the cold weather/water affecting the ro's performance.

cheers for your replies orderd my di vessel will use that when temp is low the cost of the resin could be offset by the reduction of water useage and hassle of preventing ro freezing up

Youve not changed it to flush by any chance have you?

low water temp can lower production of pure...

my advise would be to buy an ibc and fill it

could also be that you have set it to flush as said above
