Coralife 50 GPD RO/DI System

[JhardainReef]

My unit makes what seems to be a lot of water a day, what can I do to fix or determine if it isn't doing it's job. It seems to make 30 gallons of water in between an hour - 2 hrs. The trouble shooting guide said "High Water Production - Membrane not properly seated" But it is pushed all the way down the tube. Any advice?

That seems much to fast at 50 gallons per day it's like 5 gallons roughly per 2.5 hours, personally it doesn't sound like it's working like it should. You can always get a tds meter to see if you're coming up with a higher TDS(total dissolved solids) if you are, it's not working properly.

My 50 gpd system was much to slow for me because I needed at least 30g to do a water change for just one of my systems, and with me only being home at night it made it tough. So I switched to the 100gpd.

As far as the fixes and etc. I'm not very well versed on RO/DI systems I just use them and know how to test it lol

Thanks! It appears I was worried about breaking the unit when I pushed in the membrane and it did go in a little bit further. I reattached it and tightened up the middle section and it seems to be trickling now.... Much slower rate. Thanks a lot for your reply. I need to obtain a TDS meter, that is next on my list.

With it going slower I did notice one thing, the last chamber is not completely filled with water, is that normal? Could it be because I have lower water pressure than recommended?

The final chamber is the DI, generally it will not be completely filled with water like the first two.

Great! Then it seems to be working as intended. Thank you! Appreciate the response!
