PH Level for a cleaned RO??
Can anyone tell me what your PH level is when your RO is cleaned? I know pure water is somewhere about 7.0, should that also be the goal im shooting for when cleaning and making sure my RO is cleaned? I just got new PH strips and I want to make sure I am cleaning it properly.
Thanks!

Check the ph of your permeate before you start cleaning your RO. You should get the same ph from the final rinse water when you are done cleaning. If I remember correctly mine is about 6.5ph.

Why not ask NextGen, they made the RO.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
I assumed it was a standard PH level, 1 RO being cleaned should be the same as any RO, a Dow Membrane regardless of what manufacturer built the metal around it should require the same cleaning level. that beinbg said, I will be stopping by NextGen tomorrow. Coming fishing your way Dave, the Salmon river is calling me :-)
