RO filter

[DraggingTail]

Water goes from clean out on RO to DI

 

[DraggingTail]

Water comes back from DI through reverse stop. Yellow is to pressure tank and blue to RO/DI faucet

When I got my first Carbon(can’t rember the brand ) I had to flush the carbon.
If you have cheap carbon and high cloramines from city water , it’ll burn the carbon up fast then eat the di.

Well water will eat the di too.

I wonder if that's the deal

Worth a shot.

My city water is 370 from the tap.
I don’t burn resin like that. Any more that is.

Went with a better carbon from BRS
Like $3-4 more. Kinda dum they even sell the junk carbon

I bet these will fit right in.

Do you have knowledge on replacing DI resin? That filter I have is refillable. Not sure on best stuff there.

[saltyfilmfolks]

Poke it a bit. But I think those are the right ones.

Then the di.

I’m not sure why the 5 stage kit is so expensive though. It’s better to buy kit plus di it looks like.

Although you could certainly improve upon the prefilters that came with that system, they certainly are not the cause of your low quality RO water. We can help you with those if you'd like.

Hard to tell from your pictures, but is your system plumbed such that RO water from the pressure tank makes its way to the DI? If so, that's a plumbing mistake.

Have you checked to assure your membrane is fully seated?

No, pressure tank if after dinner. Yes I took it apart and made sure it was seated first. iSpring is sending me a new RO membrane after troubleshooting

Dinner - DI

That is REALLY an odd configuration - you really should not have DI water sent to a pressure tank if you're at all interested in system efficiency.

Our Reef/Residential RODI System has a pressure tank for drinking water that is filled with RO water, and a DI stage, but RO water from the pressure tank never goes to the DI stage.

What is the reading on the tap water from your sink?

The water in the tank has already been thru DI so it's ready for use. I cannot wait for water to trickle out thru DI when I need it
