tuning your RO/DI

I remember when I got my RO/DI unit several years ago, I had to go through this process of 'tuning' it. Basically measuring the output over a short period of time. Supposedly this was to ensure I was getting maximum efficiency from the unit - in terms of amount of water and filter life.

 

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yes - you want approximately a 4:1 waste to good ratio. That's about optimum.

 

It's pretty easy to do with an adjustable restrictor - simply measure & turn. Not 100% certain how you do it without one (adjust the input I imagine).

 

Also handy is a pressure gauge - you can use that to make sure you don't go over the limits of the membrane & damage it - about 90psi.
