Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone with an RO unit experiences large amounts of condensation on it. I have my RO unit set up on a float valve to help maintain a set water level in order to compensate for evaporation. The water supply runs under the house and up through the floor before being connected to the RO unit. As it is, I have large amounts of condensation on the unit itself as well as collecting on the water lines with the finished water line to the sump as the only exception. There is enough condensation collecting that I need to keep a towel under the unit to capture the drip off and change the towel every 5-7 days due to it's saturation. I have not identified any leaks at the moment, but I have not ruled them out either. After initial installation, I did not notice any leaks for several weeks. The RO unit is rated for 35 gallons a day at full operating pressure. Lately I have noticed that the pressure gauge appears to be reading 35-40 psi rather than 0 psi when the float valve is closed. Running pressure on an open float valve is 70-75psi. I believe the pressure gauge should read 0 psi when the float valve is fully closed even though the supply line remains open. Is this correct? Any suggestions would be welcome. The RO unit is too close to the MH ballasts for my comfort if they produce this much condensation. (MH ballasts not installed yet, but planned to be placed nearby). Thank you, Justin |
