Ro question

[nycsicktank]

then u wouldn't get any produce water(blue tube).

no i do get water but not blue water. something is wrong here..

the water itself isnt blue, he means the water should be coming out the blue tube. where do you have the meter connected? the water you want, when its run through the system will come out the blue tube, if you have the valve open the water will come out the orange tube, as long as you put the tubes the same way they are set up in the picture. I bought a system from the same person as you did, but I think I left my membrane out for too long so I need to get another one. just make sure you are checking the water AFTER its been through the whole system. might want to take a pic of your setup, will be easier to tell whats going on.

peach line

blue line

whenever i turn the value(blue tube) open, the waste and ro water comes out at the same time.

so many tubes going everywhere
the only thing I can suggest is have the blue ball value on the red line instead

ok, so you're getting 39 on the output? what are you getting on the input? it doesnt seem like its doing much if you're getting that much on the output. I was told to flush it for 10 gallons, but like I said I havent used my system yet so I dont know how good they are.

as you can see i do have a value on it.
if i close the value, there werent be any water coming.

cant be exactly sure cause my ppm keeps changing. output and input. however should i flush 5 more gallon?

 

[Blue02celi]

yeah sure, it couldnt hurt, then tell us what you are getting, on the input and output

 

[nycsicktank]

input=37
output=48

Something has to be hooked up backwards. That reading makes no sense and i cant really tell from the pics.

let me know whats confusing you

How does the water get MORE dirty after being filtered?
If the blue line is giving dirtier water, the waste water technically should be cleaner

 

[reefman]

input=37
output=48

this is telling u your tap water is cleaner than your produce water.
this leads me to believe the meter is not working right.

 

[Blue02celi]

I would suggest getting another meter, or meet up with someone and get them to test it, maybe a LFS? as far as how its hooked up, it looks like its hooked up how its supposed to be hooked up...

Whats the reading out of the orange line?

 

[Blue02celi]

and are you sure you have the membrane in the correct way?

 

[nycsicktank]

Whats the reading out of the orange line?

idk. i cant tell it cause my tds is already reading red and blue line.

 

[nycsicktank]

and are you sure you have the membrane in the correct way?

yea
