I picked up a Kent Maxima RO/DI 24 GPD model from the LFS and brought it home. I read through the instructions, and completed the assembly as directed. However, things are not going as I think they should.
When hooked up to normal tap it will fill a 35 gallon container in 30 minutes. The output just seems to great. Kent recomends tap pressure of 65 psi, and while I do not have a pressure guage, I thought household pressure was actually under that figure.
If I turn the tap down to a trickle, then the Kent will trickle, BUT the third container (resin DI filter) does not even fill.
The whole thing does not appear to exerting any filtration at all. I checked to make sure the RO membrane was properly seated, it is.
Is there something else I am missing here or did I get a defective unit?
