Water production slowed down.
« on: June 16, 2012, 02:41:05 pm »
I have a 200 gpd ro from Pure Freedom. I don't have a pump. About 6 weeks ago the production rate slwed right down. I would say that 200 litres now takes 14 hours or so. Water pressure appears the same but I have no way of measuring. Any ideas?

About 6 weeks ago. Hmmmm.... Thinking about it, around the time production slowed down.

Did you use 1 micron or 5 micron filters. 1 micron blocks very quickly. My guess is pressure though, these ROs are very pressure sensitive and with all this talk of drought orders i wouldn't be suprised if the water company has cut the pressure to save water.
An in line pressure gauge doesn't cost much
