Reverse Osmosis Water Management

Excuse me for intervention. You have a big problem that will cost you RO membranes. Where the Flow Restrictor is connected; you must mount a valve in parallel with the Flow Restrictor (the cylinder in which the blue tube enters and the white tube comes out) to flush membranes. I mean, Ray needs to explain to you in more detail how to flush membrane.

This is anyone’s thread Nexogen... no problemo. I’m somehow over my head for what should be an easy thing, I think. Some things, smart as a whip. Other things ummm, not so much. Not really sure why. Feel free to chime in.

I have no idea what this "big problem" is. No valve is necessary in the flush line, as the flushing action occurs with normal operation of the RO system. Back-flushing is unnecessary. The membranes are designed to operate efficiently for about 12,000 gallons of throughput without it.

WW - HERE is a description of the functioning of quick-connect fittings.
