Vertex puratek
 
So I bought the 100gpd model used and replaced all the filters.
Now the numbers are coming out at 0 ppm
But the water coming out is painfully slow. Maybe 10:1
Waste to good. What is the problem?

Do you have good house pressure? (should be around 40psi)
Perhaps the booster pump is kaput. It need about 40psi inlet to boost properly.

Ya it seems to have good pressure 75psi

BlueTang<3 04-27-2013 01:10 AM

What pressure is your running at, do u have a flow restrictor in the waste line ?

Karsten 04-27-2013 01:14 AM

The drain line has good flow. And the good water is dripping out.
Any other ideas?

BlueTang<3 04-27-2013 01:16 AM

But is the flow restrictor in the line did I change the water line when u set it up ?

Sorry I'm not understanding what you are asking

BlueTang<3 04-27-2013 01:24 AM

There should be a flow restrictor in the waste water line the vertex one is a small clear plastic piece that fits inside the 1/4 inch water line and its easily lost. :redface: With out it you will have tons of flow out the drain line. Only other issue I had was bad to membrane but I issume u changed yours .

Karsten 04-27-2013 01:26 AM

Where is the flow restricter located?

BlueTang<3 04-27-2013 01:28 AM

Should be inside the waste water line. I see this post it might help or when I get back from the airport ill take pictures
