RO/DI question

[BuckeyeHydro]

I think there is still confusion. Look carefully at the housing. One end has a single port. That is the "in" port.

Look at the other end of the housing. It has two ports. One is near the center of the end, and one is near the edge of the end. Purified water exits the housing from the port near the center of the end. Waste water exits the housing from the port near the edge of the housing.

I am about the recieve my system, can you guys put pictures??? so I don't screw up mine??? LOL..

Buckeye is so correct. the single port is ALWAYS the input. So in his display above C=INPUT, B=PRODUCT OUTPUT, A= WASTE WATER . SO Alex, ya till got it wrong, Give me a call tomorrow and I'll help ya with it. Betiuminside, PM me and I can come by and help ya with yours, we live really close. PM me with your details. That goes for anyone else in SA that needs help with their new or old units. Just PM me, I'd love to help ya all out if ya want it.

You guys are right (of course), I was posting it from memory. My system is hooked up right, and has been working well for about 100 gallons so far.

I still don't understand the path of water through the membrane, though. Does it flow throug the membrane from the inside to the outside? Or is it something else?

[BuckeyeHydro]

Water enters the membrane end near the brine seal and moves toward the center of the membrane - which is a hollow plastic tube with holes in it. Once in the tube it goes to the far end of the tube (away from the inlet port) where it exits the membrane and RO housing. That's why the permeate port (purified water) on the RO housing is the port in the center of the end of the RO housing.
