lost 20 psi with new cartage

[thesoulpatch]

SO i installed all new sediment, carbons, di, and membrane and i went from 80psi to 60psi with the booster and went from like 50ish to 20 psi without the booster.

I have checked all lines and moved everything around reseated seals, reinserted the membrane and cant figure out what happened.

also this thing hasn't moved or been changed in over 2 years, and I got it from Marine Depot to show you the age of it....

THoughts?

Also now when i turn it to flush the membrane and shut off water supply the entire thing drains? Then refills once water is turned back and repeat.

it's never done this either?

Did you change/move any of the tubing? Did you accidentally mess with your flow restrictor?

Is your flush valve open?

Did you change the capacity of your membrane?

All i did was open the housings and replace everything.

The membrane is the same one I've bought before from BRS.

When the valve is open its at like 10psi when it's closed it goes to 60. Before it was 10-2- then 75-85.

Also this is with a booster pump btw

Did you remove the wrappers from all the cartridges?

Do you have a strainer before the pump?

 

[thesoulpatch]

All wrappers and no strainer that I know of?

Did you get this figured out?
