R/O Problem with Well Water
Does anyone else have problems making R/O water from a well? I just
replaced both filters & new membrane and it's barely making water. I use a water softner so I don't get it. Are some R/O units better than others? Most probably all use the same membrane.

Both can have a major influence on how well the RO water is coming out/produced. Too cold and too low of a pressure can slow it down as well as produce more waste water from what I have read....

R/O Problem with Well Water
The bladder in the holding tank, if you have one connected, for the R/O
system may not have good pressure. (The bladder may be bad or you may have lost pressure in the holding tank) You may want to check the pressure with a tire gage. Susan  "Steve" wrote in message ...
