Hot water through my ro unit!

[magikof7]

One of my kids used the kitchen sink and instead of turning on the cold water turned on the hot. I thought it was off (usually they leave it off) and went out for an hour.
So I come home to a flooded kitchen and a bucket full of hot Ro/Di water.

Do I consider it wrecked and order all new filters and membrane?

If you have a cartridge style tap sound like you're getting bleed back from the hot, also you might have destroyed your membrane and DI resinhow is this plumbed exactly?

it is hooked up to the sink he had to turn off the RO unit to use the sink. he turned on the hot and cold then turned the Ro unit back on. but what went into the unit was all hot.

To the sink spigot
?or the cold feed?

to the sink Spigot. Im thinking If I buy a new unit I'm going to ignore Hubby and hook it upto the cold water line.

That's the way it should be hooked up

you should find a cold line and plumb a saddle valve like on your humidifier or a 3/8 to1/4 adaptor if there's flex tubing on the cold feed of that tap.
