As winter is coming around I am realizing that I have been running my RO unit incorrectly.
RO membranes are rated for their performance at 77f.
RO system instructions say to hook up the system to the cold pipe (if using a saddle valve). (So the membrane is not destroyed)
Now it seems that some people also think that this should be translated to using the cold tap ONLY when you are running the system off a sink. This sounds wrong to me, since the sink gives you the ability to mix in some hot water to get closer to 77f.
So as long as you aren't going past 77f it is OK to mix the cold tap with the hot tap, correct?
