After 3 months of use of my 75 GPh 6 stage drinking and reef Rodi system I’ve installed a flush valve from BRS .
When I flush the system I should not produce any water , but I produce anyway water and all the TDS crap goes into my drinking water tank or in the DI resin. If I flush or not the system , the quantity of the water I get , it’s alway the same
My psi water pressure is 80 and when I open the flush valve goes down at 75
Plus when I flush the system a noise like leaking air is coming out from the faucet.
Any help I’d appreciate

Hi @alexmara76 ,
Sorry to hear about the issues. If the pressure is still at 75 PSI when the valve is open, the membrane will still be functioning at a very high level, so this shouldn't put an extra measurable amount of TDS into your pressure tank or through the DI resin.

That said, it's unusual to have a flush valve not cause a dramatic drop in pressure. First, I would make sure that you removed the original flow restrictor (the manual flush valves we sell have one built-in). If that's not removed, then the flush valve won't do anything. If that's not your issue, reach out to our customer service team and they can review your issue and send a replacement if necessary.
