I just received the results from my first ati ICP test and it shows high copper in my rodi water. My original post with all results is Here but I wanted to start a new post looking for a solution to the copper content snd thought it may draw more attention than just another ICP test post.
I run 1 sediment and one carbon with 2 membranes to boost output. TDS going into di is always mid 20 and runs through cation and anion then a final mixed bed (all from brs) and is always 0 tds coming out checked with 2 meters. Runs through all plastic RO tubing into a brute container. Filters and Membranes were replaced 3 months ago. So I'm not sure where the copper would come from. I do have copper plumbing but nothing but plastic after tapping to supply the RO system. I also have an RO buddy booster pump and leave an mj1200 in the RO container but I don't think those have copper. Hanna HR copper tester shows 0 testing rodi but it may not be sensitive enough to pick it up? I'm at a loss on where to go from here. I plan on running some cuprisorb in the sump but need to correct the cause of the issue. Also I have inverts that dont seem to be effected so I'm pretty confused. Any suggestions?
