Thread: High RO/DI.

  1. #1

    Default High RO/DI.

    I just replaced all my containers, ro membrane and fresh Di. Getting 9-12 ppm at the faucet and 5-9 from the DI. I'm very confused on why these numbers aren't lower.

    Tap water is 209 ppm using a digital tds meter.

    Running a BRS drinking and reef system unit. 75gpd

    Sediment filter new
    5 micron CTO/2 carbon block new
    0.6 micron +1 carbon block new
    RO membrane New
    Di new and packed tight.
    Running 2 chlorine taste and odor reduction canisters, both not new.

    Not sure my pressure coming in.

    Maybe RO membrane not seated completely.....I'm sure others with more experience will chime in

    Did you fully flush all new filters and membrane according to directions?

    I'm hoping they'd be flushed by now. I've ran Atleast 15 gallons thought all them. Maybe I was supposed to do something different ? I drained the tank. Closed it up, ran the system through the new media for about 5 gallons and another 10-15 later these are my numbers. Ran about 5-10 through DI resin too. Nothing below 5.

    Is your TDS meter calibrated?

    my reading from my ro is 15 and di is 3. Although it would be nice to be 0.
    I only got 0 right after a new di change. I seem to be going through di a little faster, it seems to settle at 3.

    When I first run the water through it does have a higher reading and settles on 3.

    How long do you run it before testing? Your reading before ro and di is in the teens, thats ok.
    It would be nice to be lower. DI should handle the rest. How new is new on the DI?
    If its not sealed correctly (when storing) the DI can go bad, i think. just an fyi
    happy reefing
