got my parcel from osmotics today.

INline TDS meter
Pressure gauge
auto shut off with float valve.

Put the pressure gauge in place tap pressure is 50psi with RO unit shut off ( wast not open) and when flushing its 36-38psi which aint bad

no time, gotta go to work until midnight in 10mins. Will get pics when i install everything at weekend, hopefully i have enough tubing to move my RO unit to where i need it

 

[Ren&Stumpy]

Duh me....didnt order enough tubing to reach where i need the RO unit to go. More ordered

installed the inline TDS meter, havent got all parts i need to get RO unit how i want so bodged it a bit for now. I hate having the water go from the membrane straight into the DI chamber at the start because of the TDS spike you get even with flushing for 10mins, so i have ordered a few bits so i can run water from the membrane to a seperate container for 10mins or so until TDS settles to a smaller number ( this i use for water for bearded dragons/tortoise)

Any way you wanted pics so

Pressure gauge during production just under 50psi from mains feed

Inline TDS the IN probe is situated after the RO membrane and before the DI chamber so i can keep an eye on my membrane performance. The OUT is situated after the DI chamber for obvious reasons.

TDS of 7ppm after 5mins running through the Membrane not bad..usually leave it 10mins so expect a touch lower next time. its spiked at 235ppm when stopped the flush and directed through the membrane. Feed water is shocking at 470ppm ( according to my Pen tds meter)

And the all important 0TDS

pics taken with Iphone and it wouldnt focus correctly on TDS meter cos its so shiny it refleected the apple logo on the back of the phone so it was trying to focus on that instead lol
