Hi all, iv got a pure freedom RO  unit, I think it's the 200gpd . Iv got a booster pump but it still takes all day to produce 210ltrs , I'm talking a good 10 hrs!
what upgrade/ replacement does anyone suggest?
Cheers

You need a 300gpd RO to produce a good amount a water through the winter well made and well priced ro's can be bought from Daqua .

Cheers Mike il have a look pal

If you want a decent water production time wise you could upgrade to 4021 or even better a 4040 ro

[slap bash]

I have the same R O and also had a low production then replaced the 2x 100 gal membranes with 2x 150 gal membranes from Gapes water and now produce 500 liters in the same time. And add a booster pump if you do not have one the membranes work at best at 100 PSI constantly.
THis will be the cheapest solution. Or shelling out big cash for a 4040 and have over production.

Cheers smurf , I'm looking at the cheapest option at the moment 👍

That works? all I need to do is upgrade my membranes to the 150gpd and its sorted?! Are they both the exactly the same size or do I need to do any mods to my RO unit?

[Don Kee]

They're the same size membranes
Add another housing, and another 150 membrane, so you'll have a 450gpd R.O (3x150gpd membranes)

[Shane sharples]

That sounds like a plan! the 150 gpd membranes are about £35 each from gapswater , awesome il get a couple of them ordered - regarding the other housing , is that a bit tricky for someone like me who's useless at plumbing?

Curren t production sounds about right.  210 lts in 10 hours is  504 ltrs a day.  Divide by 4.5 for 112 gpd.  The 200gpd quoted is when everything is perfect and filters are new.  Plus it's below optimum temperature right now.  To get more than half the quoted rate is fairly decent.  Bear in mind, I think they quote American gallons too - they are smaller than UK ones.

[Shane sharples]

When they say so many Ltrs a day - is that a working day or is that 24 hrs a day ?

[Smurf]

24 hours

[Shane sharples]

Ah I see, gonna order some upgrades then (150gpd) thank you everyone 👍

More likely on that type of ro you will need to upgrade the flow restrictor too so best have a chat with them before ordering the larger membranes

[Shane sharples]

Cheers smurf I never thought of that pal 👍

[Shane sharples]

Just got 2 membranes, new tap and flow restrictor from daqua

[Smurf]

Nice one
