I am just getting into the hobby and I have gotten a second hand RO unit I need some help with.
Its a 5 stage unit but I don’t really know what it consists of other than the sediment filter and RO membrane.
I started it up and let it run for five minutes and the tds before the RO membrane shows 180 and the output shows 8.
8 seems like its a bit too high and a thing that confuses me is that the preassure gauge does a quick jump when water first flows into the system but after one second it returns to zero. I can clearly bith hear and see the motor in the pressurisation unit working but its not showing up.
Any tips about what could be wrong and what I should be doing?
additionally, is that an automatic flushing system next to the preassure restrictor or should I be adding another line there for a flush valve?
