Quick question on RODI.

[sleepyreef]

So I am looking to buy an RODI unit. I was reading about flush kits, and then took a look at how they work.

Then the cheap side of me came out and said - why do I need a flush kit when all I need to do is take off the flow restrictor when I wanted to flush the RO membrane? I just saved myself on a $10 add on.

Am I thinking correctly?

I think you are correct. You can also add a John Guest "T" ahead of the FR, with a valve on it. When you want to flush it, just open the valve. That way you don't have to take the FR off every time.

You're thinking correctly. The flush valve is a convience item - keeps you from having to remove/replace tubes...

I bought one of these but not installed yet as I did not know that I needed a different FR. mine is in the connector and I need an external one.
