I bought a used 6 stage from FlyAuburn before he moved.
I finally hooked up this weekend. He gave me a box of filters with the unit. I don't remeber how many GPD he said it was but I know it was alot like 250 GPD or something insane like that.
I emptied all of the water that was in the unit and changed all the filters. The box did not come with a new membrane. I calibrated my tds meter in some solution they gave me with the meter which was supposed to read 1380 mine read about 1364. I calibrated three times.
I then took a reading at the faucet and it read 105. I started the RODI and it too read 105 at the RO and at the drain.
I then flushed the membrane for about 2 hours and started the RO side again with a reading of 34.
So I guess what I'm wondering is if the membrane will allow a huge number like 250 GPD verses one that makes say 50 wouldn't the TDS read higher?
If not do I need to replace the membrane to get it to 0 or 1 ppm?
I have no way of knowing for sure the GPD or the manufacturer of the unit how would I go about ordering the correct membrane are they labled?
