Well as most of you know I hate doing maintenance, and when your tank is basically 100% automated sometimes it is real easy to let things slide. Any how just another one of my discoveries will be a point to all you.
When you are changing out your RODI filters check every now and again to be sure your drain / waste line is free and clear. Turns out mine was plugged. I had used a tubing that had a smaller ID and thicker wall, it seems as though the waste built up or the fact that my waste runs outside and algae grew in the outside portion of the line and plugged it. So my RO was having a difficult time producing "Good" water....I guess this also points to the fact that I should have been backwashing the RO membrane more often which probably would have kept the line free..
Just hoping others learn from my mistakes...If you would like a list of my mistakes let me know and I can work one up for you
