RO Help

The RO is new too me and I have some questions when you are flushing the membrane do you the reverse the flow in the membrane or are you just flooding it in the same direction as normal flow Thank you Marty :)

Never put pressure on the permeate side. Flushing is pushing water across the membrane as fast as possible with as little pressure as possible. This will have a cleaning effect like hosing off a filter.

OK are you saying the TW30-4040 won't remove water from sap or is not as efficient as the XLE-4040 membranes.A shame to not use what I have as their new. Thanks Vernon

I would try the membranes you already own, but I am cheap.

Thanks..I am cheap also..lol

Would 2 membranes be enough for my operating? The more I read on RO's I think my setup is over kill? Any comment's? Thanks Vernon

I run 4 xle's with 1000 taps. I run them at about 450psi. I like to boil 14-16%. Most days I wish I had more membrane. Your pump will not do that much pressure.

Will my pump run 2 membranes or maybe 1? I have not tried anything yet. When I picked it up (RO) everything was in a heap in the floor. All wires were cut with pliers and all pipes were cut with a hack saw. It is going to be a game to figure things out? Some parts are 120v and some is 240? I will get it little by little with a lot of help on here. Thanks Vernon

I am not sure how to plumb this RO? What is the best way to run these membranes parallel or In series? How are they plumbed? Some kind of diagram or picture would help. I might try all four. Thanks Vernon

Thanks Ben.. Could you tell me how you plumbed your system with valves, gauges and are you running in parallel? I am about ready to start putting this thing together and need some pointers. Thanks Vernon
