hi everyone i think i got shipped bad membranes. same unit 5 years. Switched all filters many times.
old membrane currently 10tds. Was around 4tds when new so time to switch.
Got new filters and membranes
flush sediment and carbon first to clear carbon dust from new filter
run through ro flush for 15 min then closed flush and made ro water for like 3 hrs. Tds only dropped to 24.
does the membrane need more time to soak up and break in or are these just bad membranes.
i havnt even put it through di yet because 24tds water would waste di too fast.
i removed new membranes and put back old membrane and after 2 min was getting 10 tds. so i know theres something wrong with new membrane. In five years ive switched them atleast 3 times and never had a break in period this long. Usually i run it about 1 hr and its good.
should i leave the new membranes running longer or try to return them ?
