Just wondering what do you think cos the system i got (omnipole) is second hand and has not been used for about 6 months, so far its been running for 12 hours and only just half full, is there something i can do to speed things up.

Thanks
Sam

What ro do you have if you have one ??

Could you say what you have on the system in full will help with the answers and also tap pressure if you know that as already said.

Redcaddy,

thanks, no idea really just got it on full blast from garden tap, it seems to be producing about 4-5 parts waste to 1 part pure is that norm cos it driving me nuts now how long its taking ?

what can need replacing cos its a few years old now maybe 5 but not had to much use and as far as i am aware nothing has ever been replaced or serviced

Thanks
Sam

Could well be a 300gpd, changing pre filters can increase fill speed what is the tds out of it before di ?, do you have a booster pump with it ?

[Ian Lancaster]

It's the RO-man 300gpd as marketed by Omnipole.  Take no notice of the '300gpd (gallon per day) as none of them ever produce what they're supposed to.

An 'unboosted' 300gpd should produce about 1000-1500 lts a day, so yours is about right.  The older systems did have a high pure/waste ratio and if you try to reduce this the membranes will suffer.

I would recommend changing the prefilters (the ones in the vertical cylinders) as these are probably knackered, and will damage the RO membranes (in the horizontal cylinders) if they're not replaced.

Buy direct from RO-man or from most on-line suppliers of WFP equipment.

Ya joking aren't you got my ro 300gpd running at a litre every 90 seconds with booster and got all new filters + membranes

[p1w1]

If this is a omnipole 300gpd system then it will take about 18-24hrs for it to produce 1000ltr of pure as i have the same system I cant really give you an exact figure as i have my system in a lockup so basically i take out 800ltr's in the morning and by the next morning it is full again but that was the figure given to me by omnipole themselves, mine is nearly 5 years old now and has a booster pump on it. You can speed things up slightly by changing the flow restrictor that is connected to the waste pipe but doing this will use your membranes and resin up quicker so not really worth it.

hope that helps

Thanks for your reply, i think we have same system by sounds of it, i know its digressing somewhat but you said you had yours in a lock up producing water for you, thats exactly what i want but am finding it nigh on immpossible to find one can you tell me how you managed to get one please ?

500 L in 12 hours

thats 1000 L in a 24 hour period

i dont know if you have guys working for you etc etc, but if you havent, that will be more than enough water anyway

That works out at 960 lts per 24 hours.  A bit on the low side - what's your pressure after the booster?

[ALAN HAYNES]

Ihave a 40 40 with a booster pump and mine takes six hours to fill

1000 ltrs

you have a problem then, what booster pump do you have ?? 3.6l a min 

[karygate]

i have low pressure and only produce about 500 a day but that is the norm round here and is still plenty for me to use .

That`s to long with a pump it should be more like 3.5-4 at the most.

[ALAN HAYNES]

Dont know what the pressure is have been running it with lot s of waste at about 1/3 pure 2/3 waste

[NWH]

What pump do you have.

[geefree]

I have the ro-man 300 gpd.... it takes 12 hours to fill 650 litre tank, for me.
