Issues with ro/di

[fencer]

Sounds like you need a booster pump. OR you have a lot of stuff in your water. Typically an RO unit produce "good water/bad" in 1:8 ratio using house pressure alone and 1:3 using a booster pump.

We'll the problem is that i had another r/o hooked up the same way and had no issues although it was less gallons per day.

The new thing is i have now put 20 gallons through it and 2 of the 3 di are now black. So out of 20 gallons that exhausted 2 of my di resins. The tds in Calgary isn't that bad....

Apprently something is not right...

the easiest way to run warmer water through is to use the faucet adapter instead.

Hey i have your hose to. I will drop it off today

But the problem is now that the di cartridges are now black already. I ran it all night long and they are now all black. I don't get it ...

be careful, running water that's too hot through the membrane can damage it. If you do want to warm the water up, you can get 20 or 30 feet of tube, coil it up and put it in a 5g bucket of warmer water, this should increase the temp a bit.
The other thing to check first is your feed water, what PSI are you getting? If memory serves, they want a minimum of 40PSI, with 60+ being recommended.

Are you still wanting photos? I believe I have the same system as you. Let me know if you want photos.

Catherine that would be great. I think i have it hooked up right as it is going through all 3 di cartridges but it just exhausted them all in one day. So i am goinng to assume i got bad di?

How long does it take you to fill something up?
