Hi all,   Ive got an ro man 200 and left it on pirifying all day, when i returned from work it had produced about 50 litres (not good).  It seems to have got really slow although it was quite slow in the first place, I ve never done a backflush and have had it for two months could this have anything to do with it ?  Also earlier on i took the cases of the membranes and emptied them out and cant get them too sit back in there little round slots, does this matter ?
 Its looking like  no work for me tommorow

Gaza is right.

The bloke at RO-Man (who we bought our RO off) kept saying how inportant it is to flush the membranes everyday for 5 minutes.

I think, and I may be wrong but I think, that if the membranes are removed wet then they expand a little when out the casing.

cheers lads, but i got my stuff from omnipole and they came with no paperwork whatsoever, madness i know.  Anyone know how i backflush it ?
Also i live on high land and am above the level of the water tower which i think effects the pressure>

Water pressure is the key factor with an ro.
Higher pressure = more water

[rosskesava]

Our one comes with a switch that removes the pressure of water within the RO unit and flushes the whole lot down the drain.

We have a pump that pump the mains water under pressure into the RO unit, then after the RO unit, there is a restrictive valve that keeps the RO system pressurised.

Do you have both those?

A pump to pump up the pressure before the RO unit and something to restrict the outlet flow of water after the RO unit?

nope rosskesavva no pump, but ive heard you can add one.
