i went to see a local window cleaner today who was having probs with his RO

its a 200 gpd RO

tap TDS is roughly 400

coming out of the RO is 45

this is way high compared to mine which is only a 50 GPD RO but i get 005 out of mine

any idea's

[Jeff Brimble]

Maybe refit all the joints and connections in the right order, otherwise maybe the RO cartridge is duff.

[Chris Cottrell]

what was the pressure going in , if its low ... 40 psi it may need booster to improve it mine goes in at 100 psi and i have the same readings as your chap

joints all look in the right order and the RO was ok

i should have added its about 9 months old

its got me stumped

Chris

his pressure is about 40, but he says it was fine for 6 - 7 months

it doesnt add up

surely the RO isnt dead after 9 months

Hi Matt

It's not a 50gpd from RoMan by any chance?

HI Matt.

Does he flush regular, also Kirsty from Gardeners said to me about changing filters every 4-6 months, if i remember right the 3 were only about £20. May be his filters need changing.

Spoke to a mate on phone, he said the same, how old are his filters?

original i think, so 9 months old

[JM123]

change the filters!!  The prefilter needs changed once a month and the carbon block every 2 months or before, the membranes could b damaged now if chlorine has got into the membranes

If it's a reading from one of those 'orrible cheap in-line tds meters it might be worth checking against another meter.

he has a inline meter, but i checked it with mu handheld meter

thanks for the idea's folks

[JM123]

If it's a reading from one of those 'orrible cheap in-line tds meters it might be worth checking against another meter.

So how come they're a lot more expensive than handhelds?

[master cleaner]

my inline reader always reads between 001-002 where as my handheld reads 000.
