Hello all,
Just getting back into the hobby after a 5 year haitus. Got my ro/di unit up and running with new filters, membrane and di cartridge. I should mention, I have moved from an area with superb water to an area with fair water.
I have noticed that I am having trouble keeping the DI container filled with water. My setup has 50lbs of pressure, and a float valve in the receptacle tank to shut off when full. I can unscrew the DI canister, and it fills with water, then a few hours later I'll check it and the level in the canister will be down an inch or two. I never had that problem in my previous setup. Is this a problem? Any suggestions?
Second, I do have a pressure pump to increase ingoing pressure, but with 50 lbs, didn't figure I need it. Shoould I hook it up to get the pressure up to say 80 or 90 lbs? Would it help in as much as making water quicker and have less waste? TIA
