Why, because you live far away? I thought you said it wasn't that far. :)

Very nice work by the way! I might have missed this but what are the panels themselves?

That doesn't make sense ... Only water can evaporate leaving the salts behind which would drive the SG up not down. If your SG is drifting down then something else is going on. Do you skim fairly wet...

I thought it was because when you raise the SG and start using a dosing pump to pull water out (and down the drain) and replacing with RO/DI then it's sort of like a mini water change. I dunno, maybe...

Done some minor reading on this. I have heard people call automated 2-part or 3-part dosing but I think the actual Balling method is dosing different things than just CaCl, Alk and Mg. In true...

It's the TDS creep, it's legit. It is only that high for a few seconds and it is because the membrane is idle for a period of time. It's not the source water.

Made worse in my case because I...

If the prefilter is actually discoloured then it is way past due for a changeout.

600-800 is the peak value of TDS surge. Nominal is 200-400. It seems to climb much higher than the input water while it sits there idle. That's why it's really important to flush the membrane...

Welllll ... possibly but not necessarily. 22ppm on the output is not great but at the same time it depends on how much it is going into the membrane. If it's say, 50ppm going in and 22ppm coming out,...
