Got in a hurry this morning and forgot to open the valve on the cons. side of my 6x150 GPD system. I normally run 150 lbs. and it went into the red zone. Would this damage the membranes?
High pressure on Homebilt RO
Got in a hurry this morning and forgot to open the valve on the cons. side of my 6x150 GPD system. I normally run 150 lbs. and it went into the red zone. Would this damage the membranes?
No, the membranes can stand any pressure, the weak links are the hoses, fittings and the vessel the membranes are in. If you see no damage, you should likely be ok.
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.
Yes I did have a few leaks. Repaired them and restarted and it is working great,
thanks for the reply.
We're running our setup with five 150gpd membranes at 180-190.
Most of those membranes are rated for up to 300 psi most likely your water filter housing will leak first.
2' x 3' backyard evaporator with homemade steam hood
38.5 gallons produced in 2022
120 taps all on 3/16" tubing
4" x 40" homemade RO built for 2023
