Saturday morning, I found the RO room at 25F. I was in it Friday morning and the temp. was fine...say mid-40's. Because it's been so cold out, I think I moved the space heater and inadvertently set it on a pebble which kept the heater from coming on...safety switches...

So Saturday morning, I crank the heat up and get the room warm. I don't think it was below freezing long enough for the big things to freeze solid...thinking the membrane housing, high pressure pump, so maybe I'm OK??

Is there anything I should watch for or check out before I run the RO for the first time since it happened? We should be boiling again Tuesday or Wednesday night.

Thanks for the help.

That sucks. I know the feeling.
Just be sure nothing is leaking before you start it, and I guess check the permeate for sugar. Obviously make absolutely certain there is no ice in it when you start it.

The book for my ro said if you having freezing heat room for at least 2 days to be sure there is no ice. I think you will be fine.

Thanks guys for helping me feel better about it. I didn't see signs of water on floor, so assuming nothing's cracked.
