Now I have no way to make any water and my new tank is coming! Ugh!

[AydenLincoln]

I literally replaced the membrane twice and still I’m not getting any water. I really hope BRS can just send me a new membrane ugh.

 

[ninjamyst]

Are you getting water if you put back old membrane???

I've never had a membrane that produces nothin'. I'd disconnect the DI and remove the membrane, then see if any water splurges out of the appropriate pipe when turned on.

No and now I can’t get any water out whatsoever.

I'm not trying to state the obvious, but is the RO membrane installed the right way? I'm just double checking

I *believe* you run a FOWLR for Hewbie. I'm not trying to be an expert here, but for fish only, you could run dechlorinated tap water just for the fish, and just in the short term.

I hope that helps!

Yes I was but that got thrown out so the membrane I was using wasn’t right but not even with the membrane removed I’m not getting any water. I swear I think I just need an entire new unit. The actual unit isn’t even that old. I recently replaced all the other filters as well.

Has it got an auto shut off? Very unlikely the whole unit needs replacing it's just containers, pipes and filters.

Yes it does.

 

[JGT]

Long shot and obvious but….did you turn the water back on? It needs to be turned off to remove filters and such.

 

[Garf]

Yes it does.

That's where I would look first.

Yes lol.

 

[SliceGolfer]

Maybe some photos would help diagnose?

I’m aware I was flushing it in some of these photos.

Are you using a booster pump? What pressures is the gauge showing?

 

[KrisReef]

OMG, it was built in 2022 By Devon I at BRS.

And I think the 4 wave valve is backwards?

 

[KrisReef]

I think part #9 is installed backwards? Could just be me>

 

[rogueshrimp88]

I'm still at work, I'll have to verify on mine when I get home, but are the black and blue lines coming out of the membrane backwards? Like I think the blue comes out the connector that perfectly aligned and the black one is supposed to come out the offset connector. I could be wrong though.

 

[TangerineSpeedo]

I think the valve is set up correct. It is just probably stuck shut. You can bypass the valve and just hook everything up directly.

I am literally having the same problem with my new RO/DI unit from SpectraPure. So frustrating.

 

[TangerineSpeedo]

The four way valve that is. Not the restrictor one.
