As soon as u put any tap water through di resin, it will take it to 000tds, wether its 5 or 500, as the other guy said u could have not bothered with the ro unit, but i suppose it will still take the tds down from 55 to 12ppm, which will save u money on resin. Remember the whole point of the ro unit is 2 save u money on the di resin at the cost of time it takes to make it, ie. if your tap water was say 300tds and u went straight into your di vessel it would take it to 000tds but it would cane your resin and cost u a bomb, thats were the ro comes in! but if u was in a rush to produce the water fast one day, it would not be the end of the world at 55tds to whack it straight though the di vessel for instant water. hope that helps

My tds out of my 4040 is 40ppm. I have twin di's and i go through plenty of resin. Di your water at 12ppm and the rein will last ages,so basically,no booster pump needed but di would be a good move

Hes already using an ro to get the tds down to 12. To not use it and twin di at 55 would be idiotic

Most ro membranes are set to an optimum of 80-100 psi, so that's why production is poor. With a booster pump you will see the output tds go down and the flow rate increase. You should really be getting below 5 from the ro.

You think?

No waste water.
Instant filling from tap.
No waiting to produce water.
No unsightly IBC in the garden or shed.
Easy to keep frost free in the winter
Refill on the job.
Better use of any resin needed

Clearly you dont think.

At 55 ppm pushing through a 300GPD RO is a waste of effort, plus he clearly isn't getting the results he expected or he wouldn't have asked the question.

I get  tds of 004 from supply of 200 tds with water pressure of 55psi, from a 300gpd unit, so don't bother with resin.

You should get better performance from your RO. If the membranes are brand new performance will improve after a day or two's use.

I would say thats poor performance. my tap tds is 380'ish and I honestly get 003!

I would highly reccomend one of these, btw I am nothing to do with this company just very impressed by thier product

Membranes dont start to work efficiently until at least 60psi is loaded on them. I can and will highly recommend the streamline 600gpd with booster pump. My tap water reads 379 ppm tds and reads 2 ppm after the ro. The booster pump produces around 120 psi and produces around 100 liters per hour of pure water.

For someone that has just discovered Gardiner poles and needs to know the value of their circa 75k round,i hardly think you're qualified to question whether i 'think' or not,sonny.

You must be mixing me up with someone else. I had poles off gardiners since well before the arrival of my Super Max and I have never asked about the value of my 'circa £75k round'.

And to get away with calling me 'sonny' you must be a pensioner so I better show you some respect eh?
