RO Membrane

[JerryD120]

Does anyone local carry RO Membrane in stock? Prefer somewhere NE San Antonio into New Braunfels or even San Marcos.
It's for a Standard RO/DI system.

Thanks

I believe mine to be standard and I picked up one from Home Depot along with carbon a sediment. Worked for me in a pinch.

[JerryD120]

Yes, I stopped in at Home Depot and theirs are $49 and not guaranteed to work because it is for a GE RO system. Guess I will go back up there tomorrow and take my old membrane to see if they are the same size. Thanks for the info.

Order it from Russ at Buckeye, the only one that is guaranteed

I think he wanted something local.

But yes, russ carries good stuff... I have also ordered one from BRS..

That is what you want... I wouldnt use anything less.

Correct, and the only reason I want local is because I need it today or tomorrow at the latest. BRS wants $50 for overnight shipping, so that option is out the window.

Call elegant or maybe polly's, since its a little closer to you...

Is the membrane completely exhausted?

[JerryD120]

It is exhausted completely. It was down to a slow drip output. It was odd though because it happened suddenly.

Are you measuring pressure into the unit? Or tds after the membrane, before the di resin?

Yea.... Lol, had no clue I was supposed to flush it. But was asked that yesterday and now I know. Going to order a membrane and flush kit from BRS today. But need a membrane to hold me over til I get the order in.

Pressure in is good. TDS after membrane is between 20-25 after DI is 0. I removed the membrane and the flow was awesome, so I ran a little thru DI and it was 0 so I used that for topoff but I know that will exhaust the DI resin extremely fast.

I bought my flush kit from Louis at elegant reef. He may have another one in stock.

Well 20-25 is not good after the membrane....

Will it stay at that range while you make a gallon or 2 of di water?

Reason i ask, I have a T after my membrane and usually flush a gallon or 2 of water out before closing the T and letting the di resin polish it off.... It will climb as high as 100+ then drop down to 4-6 but it takes a gallon or 2... I usually save that water for my new trees..

I've never had a flush kit but thinking on getting one soon....

[350gt]

Oh and i wouldnt buy a membrane while you wait for yours to come in the mail... Di resin is alot cheaper for a bag.. iF after your resin your getting 0, maybe just prep a few gallons until you get all your filters in..

Louis @ elegant is has the bags of resin, which is where i scoop up mine from.

That's a good suggestion. I have about 3 refills of resin still, so that will last til I get the new membranes in.

Thanks for that suggestion! 😊
