Hi Avo thanks for your reply mate  what I am trying to say is I put a brand new membrane together reading nothing
Now after 8 months using 4000 litres a week it is now reading 18 is this the norm ?
Look forward to your reply

Is it reading 8 after your D.I (resin) or actually after the membrane?(before D.I)
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

What's your tap reading because this will go up and down at different times of the year which will send your rejection rate up  mate..

You shouldn't be getting over 10 tds really with a tap read out like this..
2 or 4 is more like it..

What size membrane 4040??

It does seem like its risen too quickly mate, usually you should get 95% off the solids taken out (so around 4ppm)


What type of membranes are you using (40/40 or 150gpd) and do you flush regularly?
Also, what pressure do you have running through the R.O?
