Hi Bryan or anybody that can answered these few questions I have.

For those that own a unit from H20, how often do you flush the unit? For my unit, the red light blinks like every hour and I was wondering is it necessary to be flushing the unit like 15 times a day? Also, my reading for ppm after the ro membrane is like 50, but once I flush the unit then it goes down to like 15ppm. I am a little lost, but do I have to do this everytime for like 15 times/day. I currently only have the unit running to my fridge and nothing else. I have test the water coming out of my fridge and the ice and it reads around 40ppm. What should I do? How can I get my ice and water down to 10ppm.

The unit is newly installed and all filters are new. Am I doing something wrong here? No matter what, my ice will always be around 40 ppm and I have tested everyday for a whole week already.

BTW, I spoke with Bryan regarding my bladder tank, because it takes me like 5 min to filled up a glass of water from my fridge. So, I went ahead and test the pressure coming out of the tank and it was at 0psi. He told me that he will send me a new tank. Talk about good service. Thanks a lot, Bryan.

And now, I just need to found out how I can produce good water and ice. Hm....................
 
how do you like that unit jeffrey? I just ordered mine last thursday. How long did it take to get to you?
 
Hey Yinger,

Man, I tell you this unit rocks!!!!! I just spoke to Bryan and he told me the reason this unit is not working probably, because I only have it hook to the fridge and causing the unit to shutoff quite frequently. He says once I get my other things going, the unit should work fine.

It took like about 2 weeks, but well worth the wait. He hooked me up with a lot of free things and it definitely made up for the long wait. Well, to me 2 weeks is not that long of a wait.

BTW, which unit do you ordered? Also, how's the VHO bulbs working?
 
awesome! i can't wait till we get ours. How come it took so long? I was hoping it would be here at the end of the week. I guess back to the LFS for RO water for my top off haha. I ordered the vision. Which model did you get?

The VHOs work perfect! Thanks again! Gives me a nice dawn dusk as well as good supplementation.


edit: nm i saw you ordered the CA. HOpefully ours works as well. haha
 
I'm pretty sure you will be very happy with the unit. The only reason I can think of that it took two weeks for the unit to get here is he got really busy and probably a lot of the orders got backup. Anyway, just be patience, the unit will arrived and I can surely you will be satisfied.

I've been asking Bryan so many questions about the unit, I think I'm a pro at hooking up one now. :D Once you get your unit, if you have any questions, I'll be very happy to try to answered any questions you have.

Another thing I like about ordering from H20 is their customer service. Top notch and best of all, you can pretty much asked questions anytime, anyday. Yes, even Sunday. He also have a forum on here for questions.

Man, I'm giving him so many good reviews, it almost feel like I'm working for the guy. :D
 
yeh, i've been talking to azdesertrat about it and he highly recommended them. Hopefully its not backed up anymore haha.

I'll definitely have to hit u up if i get stuck on something. I'm only going to use the unit for the fish tank though and probably put it in the garage on the hose.

Yeh, customer service is always important too.

I have so many things coming in soon. You order the tank yet?
 
Man, I've been procrastinating. Can't seem to find the time to do it yet. Since it has been so hot, maybe I should just wait unitl fall. Just can't decide, whether to go with the 180 or 135 gallon.

And all these horror's stories of the electrical bill is also scaring me off.
