Hi all,
fitted up my ro today 75 gallon, now i am sure its working ok as water tds in is about 540 and water out not through di is around 40 and dropping slowly, very very slowly.
Now the waste water is flowing at a good rate and clean water is just a fast drip, hardly anything for 3 hours. I have looked at past posts and seems my water pressure is low and my flow rates are around the wrong way, I am not really wanting to keep on spending on this as costs are mounting but does anyone have any ideas on increasing pressureand if not and i have to get pump from ro-man will i have to buy battery aswell to run it, having been off work for over a week now with broken ribs need to cut costs somehow, any help would be very welcome as this is my final hurdle on diy system all else ready to go now, apart from ribs that is
cheers simb0

Hi

Have you checked to see if your bypass valve is in the correct position?

i.e. it is not switched to flush.

Hi Simbo

A 75 gallon RO unit, will only drip pure water - if u have good water pressure and you leave it on for 24 hours solid, it should produce between 50 - 75 gallons a day for you (this is not allot of water).

Hope this helps

like i said it is a steady drip, but is it normal to waste far more water at the rate it is going i can't see it filling water butt in 24 hours.

Hi,

a 75gpd produces water very slowly, you can speed this up by fitting a pump to the system or by fitting a membrane upgrade

Hi simbo

I have the same system that you have, but my water pressure is low so i had to buy a booster pump from roman mine will now fill a 210ltr water butt up over night, by the way you wont need a battery for the pump as they run of mains electric.

cheers jeff.
