RO membrane housing fitting
any one where I can get the check valve elbow for the clean water outlet??
tried everything with my aquasafe one, and it keeps on leaking. I tried push in more with a plier, replaced the o-ring from a know good fitting, tried a new tube. It's about a drop every 3 second, but it adds up. so, does any one know where to get a replacement here in richmond area?? or the surrounding city?? |
Are you asking about the john guest fittings?
If so try Rona or Home depot Sometimes they leak if the pipe is a bit damaged , ie inserted into fitting one time too many. Before buying, try cutting a half inch off it before reinserting into fitting. |
I bought a replacement check valve / elbow direct from Aquasafe

btw, how much water does it take to flush system to get pure water. tested my output water a few times, and it still has more TDS than my tap water. |

i forget how much it said to let run through and discard at first, maybe 20 gal? I think I ran about 3 gal through mine before it read 0 tds. I ran another 2 or 3 gal, retested and still at zeros. Stared using it since, never any problems. My tap water is between 180 - 190 TDS. |
I live by nanaimo skytrain, my tap TDS is only about 16 at worst. the stuff coming out of the waste pipe is 25-30 (still very clean, I think I'll pipe this into a ran barrel outside this summer and use it to water then lawn), production water is 0.
If it's brand new are you sure the membrane is seated properly? I had this problem a long time ago with my first RO system. Also do u have the proper restrictor pipe? If you bought a prebuilt system should be OK, if you customized it then might want to check everything. If you bought it brand new I would expect them to replace or repair anything that came from them. |
