So, I purchased the Aquatec Auto Flush Valve, the Aquatec pressure switch and the power supply. I have a little over 60psi so no need for a booster pump. I installed everything correctly; however, I am trying to determine if it is even working.
When I tested the flow rate from both the waste water and product water I got a perfect 4:1 ratio. Yet, this flow rate is constant from the moment the system turns on. It would seem to me that if it were automatically flushing then there would be a significant drop in product water or perhaps no product water at all until the timer completed the flush.
Is my assumption correct? I purchased the auto flush valve from BRS and noticed the manufacture date was over 5 years old, meanwhile the pressure switch off Amazon was just a few months old. I am wondering if it sat so long in a warehouse that something locked up, but I want to confirm my assumption of how it operates is correct. There is an adjustment screw on the pressure switch, I believe it is set at 40 PSI but can be adjusted from 30 to 60, so maybe I need to adjust it to get it to operate. There are no manuals or instructions with any of the Aquatec products. The BRS video is about the only thing I could find.
So here is a rundown of the system.
90 GPD Spectrapure typical 4 stage system with auto shut off, pressure gauge and digital TDS meter.
I removed the original flow restrictor and installed the Aquatec 700 ML/MIN AUTO FLUSH FLOW RESTRICTOR on the waste water line with the flow going in the direction as indicated. I then installed the Aquatec PSW-240 shutoff pressure switch on the product line.
Anyone have any insight on this?
