Aqua FX RO Unit trouble
So im in the process of setting up my new tank, and went to start making the water.
hooked my ro unit up to a tap, and noticed a change in the waste/filtered water ratio. Extreme change. About 20 gallons of waster water in a bout 6 minutes with less than an inch of filtered water. I noticed the psi was a bit down, around 45. the unit says it needs 35 to function properly. I replaced all filters and membranes, could this be the problem.? i mean i gave it time to break in (over 30 gallons.) I contacted Aqua FX, but i assume no one will be in till monday. Any suggestions. |

what is your GPD rate? 20 gallons of waste water in 6 minutes are lots . How do you get the water come out of those 1/4" tube that fast? I have mine run on 60 PSI

its a 50 gpd unit,
i have the tap turned full and all i get is around 45psi. i didnt think that much water could come out to, but its pretty intense. when i first turned it on the waste line came flying out of the drain and shot water clear across the basement. |

Did you install the flow restrictor correctly?
