i had the same problem last year. one of my pre-filters was blocking and had to be replaced. this said the tds did shoot up with the lack of production water

yes same as usual

it should be a real good rate coming out other end but i suppose you know that.

how long is the pipe from membrane to tank?

about 1 meter

hmmm, im just going through the things i went through last month as i had the same thing. in the end i had a massive airlock in the membranes

but your saying the pressure is still good after the membranes? so im clueless sorry

looks like new membrane perhaps? how old is it?

[Alex Gardiner]

My immediate thought is that you have a blockage somewhere in your RO System.  The only way to check for this is to check it methodically, removing one item after the other. 

Another thought that comes to mind is that you have a leak in your holding tank?

i thought i had a leak but no water any were near it
it hasent been cold enought on a night to freez the di cylinder up as it an taken all day to though out  as it i have one of those it looks like a membrain holder di cylinders

Have you back flushed the system recently?

I have only once had this problem and it turned out that a good back flushing cleared everything.

yes same as usual

If processed water is still coming out of the membrane at the same rate as usual, but the tank is not filling up, then there must be a blockage in the DI stopping the water getting through.  The only other possibility is a grain of DI resin has found its way to the inlet fitting in the skin of the holding tank and is blocking the water from entering the tank.  I had this happen once, but when I took the pipe off the DI cylinder the pressure blew the fitting apart, so there was no doubt I had a blockage before the tank.

[m.b.s.]

just had the ro to pices couldent find any thing also cleaned the di cylinder and replaced it with new resin also blow through the pipe to the tank and all seams fine water is coming out in to the tank now see what happens in the morning managed to get about 40 liters out of the tank so all in all i have 165 liters of water in my van for work tommorrow looks like i will be finishing early or just do the tops wfp

[LWC]
