did you break the system in by letting it run for an hour or so. there is stuff in there that needs to be washed off before you drink or add to your tank. i got mine over a month ago and mine still reads zero and the tap was up around sixty.

How fast is water suppose to be running out of the purified water side?
Today, I tried inserting the RO in the other side. Before, my water was at a very slow dripping speed. Now, it comes out very fast. So which side would be right? After switchiing is around, it seems to work better... |

very slow.
I don;t know how big of a unit you got but say you got a 100 gal per day membrain that is only 0.07 gal per minuit so just a trickel. Steve

I totally agree with Canadian man, our local water is not that bad and even if it is, an R/O unit should remove about 90%-97% of the contaminants. The DI unit removes 99%, that's why you use the R/O unit though to save the DI resins, even if your water is totally crap the R/O DI unit should leave you with <1 ppm TDS. Membrane life and DI resin life is dependant on water source contaminants (assuming your filtering out the chlorine). If you live in the middle of no where, where you're on a well with tons of calcium etc in the water your membranes will need replacing more often than if you live on the wet coast of Canada where our water is super soft.
My opinion is that the membrane must be installed wrong. I had one of the Kent units and the membrane was a stinking tight fit, to tight actually to push in by hand, once I screwed the top on though it worked like a dream. Doug |
