You'll be happy you did - you'll get much better life out of your DI cart.

If the system only ever turns on for a couple/few minutes at a time, all, or a high percentage of the water you get out of the system will be TDS creep water. TDS creep is a process that causes relitively high TDS water to be produced by the RO system when it is first turned on. This period...

Here's something to think about: If you remove the lid you expose the container to evaporation. If you have an ASOV and float valve, that may cause your system to short cycle (kick on and off frequently). You don't want that. Russ

Right. When the tank is full, and assuming you have a standard ASOV, the tank pressure will be 66% of the feedwater pressure.

You could try to send RO water from the pressure tank to the ice maker, but if you have trouble with low pressure, then run from right after the carbon block.

Some refidgerators require a minimum water pressure in the line feeding the refidgerator. Esspecially if your pressure tank happens to be on the empty size, yes, you can go below that min. pressure and you can get an ice block in the back of the freezer. Yes - seen it happen. There are...

Couple things to think about: 1. If you route your RODI output to a float valve in your sump, when (not if) your float valve fails, your RO system will pump and pump and pump 0 TDS water into your sump, until the sump overflows, and then it will continue to pump. You'll likely significantly...

We recommend that you do not run your RODI to a float valve in the sump.

:eek: $1 per gallon? WOW!!

A reading of 22 ppm on the DI water really tells you nothing about the condition of your other filters. A good rule ofthumb is to replace your sediment filter and carbon block after six months. Amore precise way to maximize the usable life of these two filters is to use apressure gauge to...

I would avoid the self piercing saddle shown above for a number of reason, especially if you can't make any permanant changes to the plumbing. Two options are popular with customers in apartments: faucet adapter kit, and inline undersing shut off supply valve Russ

Do you have a flow restrictor in place?

Is your flush valve open? Russ

Here's a few comments: 1. It looks like you've discovered that you should not take TDS readings from an open storage container - you won't get accurate results. Let your system run for 3 minutes and then take a sample of DI water straight from the tube. Use a clean glass container to collect...

A good rule ofthumb is to replace your sediment filter and carbon block after six months. Amore precise way to maximize the usable life of these two filters is to use apressure gauge to identify when pressure reaching the membrane starts todecline. This is your indication one or both of the...
