10-11-2006 20:03 by robert.pope	does it take for a Ro filter to fill up and start producing water? i have one with all the electrics ....when i switch it on it shows low water pressure....and clicks back off............... it never came with instructions ....any info would be great.......thanks rob.
10-11-2006 20:44 by keith t	can you not flush water through it without electric
10-11-2006 21:03 by Rob_Ren	have never used one, but when i was nosing round a while back some of the suppliers were listing pumps for when you have low water pressure and from what i remember you get better efficancy (less waste water) with higher pressure so electric ones probably have this low pressure cut off you are saying about. But i am still very new so could be way of the mark.
10-11-2006 21:15 by OLD MAN	robert.pope i have 2 ro units explain more mate, what is the pump for? i dont get it. the pump boosts the water pressure so how can it be down to low water pressure?
10-11-2006 21:31 by robert.pope	hi thanks for all the help i am trying to flush each filter in turn to eliminate air-lock old man the filter is a Aquathin intelligent selectronic domestic system......im sure the filters are just standard ones ok i have water supply going into a solenoid?(switch)....this then goes to the pump......through the pump and back to the first filter pod... with the electric conected it pulses and clicks back off.......should the pump be between the supply and the solenoide? the system has a holding tank (preasureised)and a worktop tap.
10-11-2006 21:32 by OLD MAN	have you got the pump on backwards? i dont use pumps on mine, i personaly find them better without.
10-11-2006 21:36 by Cichlid Fury	OLD MAN? you back? all over the place?
10-11-2006 21:36 by robert.pope	the pipes were all conected...... looking at my feed supply its not as high as i thought it would be ..... i will check the pump......thanks Old man

10-11-2006 21:40 by OLD MAN	try it without the pump. that will see if the rest is set up ok. then if all is ok with that, then add the pump?
10-11-2006 21:42 by robert.pope	well i have all day tomorow to play with it ............the filter that is !!!
10-11-2006 21:44 by OLD MAN	when i brought one of mine, it had been put together wrong. on the pipe that went into the unit was a 1 way valve and i spent hours playing with it before i found out some idiot had put it together wrongly. i find it best to rebuild them yourself. step by step.
10-11-2006 21:45 by robert.pope	thanks old man ......i will keep you updated
10-11-2006 23:41 by robert.pope	I have now placed the pump before anything else ....... the tap conecting to the copper cold water supply has alot of presure however at the other end of the pipe its only like a dripping tap??? i have removed and re-fitted the pipe as i thought it may have been squashed in the screw connection......still the same only a drip its asthough their isnt enough water for the pump to work properly any ideas guys an girls?????
11-11-2006 00:48 by robert.pope	update on the problem.....im sure i installed everything very carefully as i didnt want a leaking pipe..............however i think when i tightend the supply hose brassconector it must have kinked the feed pipe behind the dishwasher!!! .....straightend it out to hear a rush of water and the system working as it should be .... i notice now that when the pump is under presure it leaks a little .....tomorow i plan to whip the top off and smear something like fernox (spelling?) its a leak sealer safe for drinking water ! thanks all for you help and a big thank you to the OLD MAN
11-11-2006 21:11 by OLD MAN	sorry for caps.
11-11-2006 21:11 by OLD MAN	THEY ARE A PAIN MATE. BEST WAY I FIND WITH THEM (EVEN NEW ONES) IS TO CHEQUE EVERYTHING YOURSELF AND ASSEMBLE THEM YOUR SELF. GLAD IT WORKS MATE. WHAT FISH IS IT FOR?
