Hi all
How susceptible are these RO units to freezing?
I've had a DI vessel freeze up and recover with no damage at all.
Would the same stand for an RO?
Would one of these in the insulated cabinet in the garage be enough protection?

Yes it should.

My RO is outside under the car port in a wooden insulated cabinet. I have a tube heater nestling in there too for sub zero temperatures.

I have had RO units outside in a shed for years I’ve froze them solid defrosted them in like warm water and they were fine again although this is not good practise,they’ve still produced water of 3-5 after years of use.
Water production slows down this time of the year unless it’s all inside due to the cold weather.

Ro’s slow down at this time of the year regardless of whether they inside or not. The water in the mains is colder, thicker and that makes production slower. Being inside, like most of your dribble, is irrelevant

Cheers Tone what would we do without you m8

It also depends on what temp water you put through them indoors some people may be running water through the RO warm at a dribble,sorry I mean drivel.
