Tds readings omg

[Skimmerking]

Hey all Well after playingwith my tank and thought about what Doug was telling me about the life of a membrane, lets wee who has the highest. I think that mine is at the top with a amazing reading from the tap of 795-800PPM

I can't speak no wonder that i have to change mine every 6-7 months is there any way to ease the TDS readings coming out so I dont have to pay 75 every 6 months ...

I have really high tds water from our well, usually in that 700 to 800 range. I found using one of those flush kits extends the life of the membrane substantially.

would think with the pre-filters and flushing, would get way more than 6/7 months from a membrane.

You could move to the Island, I think I get about 17ppm out of the tap

Wow, I thought gettin 110 ppm out of the tap was good.

I get any where from 120 to 170ppm from the tap

Hey Mike, with a TDS that high you should consider some extra pre-filters. Also an adjustable membrane pressure valve will allow you to increase your waist water ratio, not the most efficient method and you won't produce as much good water but it'll be easier on the membrane. After that if you want to get better efficiency you could run the waist water from the membrane into another membrane and so on.
