RO/DI water system question

[ninjamini]

I think I am making water too fast. Yesterday I turned on the system to make water for the week and I got about 15 gal in under 3 hours.

At zero TDS?

If only I had bought the meter.

What is your water pressue? How many gallons a day is your system? I just added a boost pump to my system and can make 5 gallons in around 45 minutes.

How do I know the water pressure. Anyone have a tds meter. I went to 3 lfs today and noone had one.

I have one you can use.
I'll bring it when I pickup my frags unless you want to come get it before then.

 

[ninjamini]

Thanx that would be great.

Guess you forgot to buy a pressure gauge too - eh?

My unit came with one but you can buy one and add it onto your unit. Nice to have cause once the pressure starts dropping it is generally an indication that your filters need attention.

I "might" have one laying around.

The things to know. The know the darndest thing is that I went to AWI and talked to there guy. I went with his recommendation. He had another model that had a gauge built in but he told me I did not need it. Hell I am just happy to no longer need to go buy water. Of course I say that...today I went and got 20 gal of sea water from the lfs.


You know the thing that troubles me is that the lfs does not have a tds meter.

Maybe they don't you checking their water

LOL. I think you just hit the nail on the head
When I first got a TDS meter I started checking the RO water I was getting around town and not one of them was even close to zero.
Most batches ranged between 20-50ppm which is way better than my 200+ppm tap water, but definitely not what I was expecting or thought I was paying for.

LOL the guy at that pet store at pet world said that he was trying to get them to upgrade there rodi. I dont know what that ment but...
