Ive just purchased a200 GPD reverse osmosis system,how long should it take to fill my 210l tank.Its been on since 9oclock this morning and its only three quarters full.Is this normal, its nearly 8 tonoght.Just starting window cleaning.
I live in Sutton Coldfield if anyone wants to rent me some work.Im also a good carpet cleaning if anyone needs a good job

The rate that an RO system works is dependent on 3 things, water temp, water pressure and how dirty the feed water is.

What's your water pressure ? Sounds like you need a booster pump.

Matt.The feed is 300tds,the water pressure is medium to high,and the water is 8 degrees.

When you say med - high pressure is this what reading your getting or have been told ?

My water pressure is rubbish, yet the window cleaner about 1000 yrds away from me has great pressure.

You may have the flush on. Get a cup and time how long it takes to fill it at the moment. Then turn the tap on the RO and time it again. If its quicker after you have turned the tap then you had flush on. If not your pressure is low and you need a booster pump

thats about right ( if not slightly better than i would expect )

i have a 100 GPD and it takes near 24 hours to fill my 210 rain water butt

if you are concerned about the speed, dont forget that you can have 2 X 210 tanks, start the week with that full and your van tank ( or 25 L barrels )

I think I need a booster pump.It hasnt been running on flush,it went even slower when I turned the switch
With a booster pump how many hours approx should it take to fill.
Thanks
Steve

Booster is the way to go, it'll improve things dramatically.

Do it and you wont believe your eyes.

Thanks Matt and window washers
Ill just keep filling my trolley barrels up and see how I go.

as i said, if your worried, just add another 210 L tank ( rain water butt ? ? ) to the setup, you will start the week with a head start of that

I have a 200 gal and to fill a 237 litre but it takes 12 hours with out pump at 30psi with a crap pump of 50-80 psi but it works a 40 psi X 2.9 litre per munite it takes half the time.The pump improves my waste water to a large degree as it is reduced by half.I feel I need a pump that opperates at a constant 50 -60 psi and pumps about 5 litre a min, at
