how long does an r/o unit take to make clean water?

Had my RO unit running for about 10 mins now...'dirty' hose has lots
of water coming out, nothing through clean yet...
How long should it take?

Never mind - water started coming out about 5 minutes after I posted
this

Also remember to flush and through out the water
first before you use it.

I let it run down the drain for about an hour, prior to putting it
into the tank.

Yep that's good.

Looks like I'm dumping what's in the tank now anyway once I fill it
with hose water and test the setup...which I'm guessing I shoulda done
in the first place

Do you have a TDS meter? It's critical for figuring out if the unit is
working well or not, or when

check out http://filterdirect.com/catalog/

Best prices on ro/di items and TDS meters, which sell for $24.00

They will install any GPD membrane ni any setup you desire as well as
any type or brand name. The RODI units are made by Honeywell Water
Products division of Honeywell Inc, and marketed by the name of Water
|General. They cost 1/3 or more less than what LFS or online fish
supply places typically charge. I have two of the systems now for over
3 years and have yet to have problems, and the replacement costs for
fitlers or resin is much chepaer than most online vendors catering to
the fish hobbyist crowd.

Ask for Oscar.......he will treat you right.

Many people do not realize that a TDS meter is unnecessary. Then there
is the issue of TDS as TDS, as NaCl and CaCO3. A conductivity meter
can not measure any of these values/say. There is no way a TDS meter
can tell you how many ppm of Total Dissolved Solids there are in a
sample. My husband says the same can be acomplished by floating a meat
thermometer in the water for 5 minutes. if the setting is above well
done or broasted, the total dissolved solids are within normal levels.

From my research, you do realize this is exactly what he, and
supposedly another fellow, use to do to Reel McCoy? I don't even know
your posting style that well, but it only took an instant to figure
out the fake. Roy's only talent is to taunt. He'll get his eventually.
