Thanks for showing me your RO the other day. Mine is about ready to go but I fear leaky fittings.
Happy to show you around the mine field. Its a fun little setup I have.

Close off permeate and concentrate lines and run without membranes... this should show you the leaks if they exist. Start with needles open, purge air/prime, and then slowly clamp outputs down while eyeing pressures. If you have leaks, you will see them.

I've got a few extra fittings lying around if anything needs replacing. I rummaged through my "bits drawer" and found all sorts of stuff I forgot I had. I tend to buy extra quantity knowing I will break things.

I did thaw out my hose and fire up the power washer the other day to clean my IBC and barrels. I think I'm officially ready to go, and I'm getting antsy.

My daughter tells me she wants to go up north to ski. My sources also tell me the snowpack is finally enjoyable. I may take a day next week to oblige.

We managed to get my son out of the house for a walk down to the mailbox yesterday. He's recovering well. Still on a feed tube, but doing well. One day at a time. The Docs were happy with the pathology reports, so I'm happy.
