[richiewwhite]

does any have a picture of which line is the waste and which is the water. it is supposed to be red and blue but i have white lines and do not know which is which. one is in center of ro and one is next to it off to the side if anyone knows i would be grateful I have looked for pictures online but cannot see which one is which thanks

just wondering if you bought it new it should have a diagram with that info but hey this is my ro unit the orange is the waste and the blue is the ro water

 

[wayne]

on the outlet section the blue is on top and the orange is under and plus the waste runs more faster and more consistent than the ro water on mines
what you can also do is search the type of ro unit and there should be diagrams for it good luck

water from the tap--->first sediment membrane--->gac block(or granular activated carbon)--->ro membrane 25,50,75,100,125)--->ro membrain out 2 ways:::1-drain (bad water):::2-ro (pure water)....(((the 1 leaking fast is the drain)))


Just look through the hose...

Easiest way! Turn on the water. The one the is DRIPPING is your good water. the one shooting out like a firehose is the WASTE!!!!

Isnt it suppose to be the other way around?

I have the coralife unit. It was said correct. The one dripping slow is the good water. Mine is setup as the blue line don't go by the color go by drip rate. If you did get it second hand i would recommend getting new filter and membrane. Just call local fish store and ask them if the can test your tds of your r/o water and that will determine if you need new filters/membrane. Also the coralife unit i have didn't come with a di unit, you could order the unit and attach it to your r/o then u will have ro/di unit, fyi. Also you can just order another brand di unit and attach it, just make sure u have the correct fittings.

The port that comes of the center of the end is the permeate (water purified by the RO membrane). The port that comes off the edge of the end is the concentrate (waste water).
