the warmer the water the faster the production, but the warmer the water the higher the tds. that is too much water for a 50 gpd i suspect something with the membrane. usually you get less production than whats rated. main factors of production rate are water pressure and temp. le-frog << sorry my daughter cried and wanted this on there and it could be the restrictor you can pick up any 50 gpd restrictor from most stores. what type restrictor is it a ball and spring or an orifice type?
Where and what does the restrictor look like? Sorry i’m not sure what that is.
it is in the waste line it is either at the end where it drains or its in the fitting where the line screws into the membrane outlet
here is one now this is for a 75 gpd but this is another version just search ro flow restrictor and it will give different versions any will work but you will have to remove your restrictor before installing a new one its a cheap try but as paul said maybe call that guy for support he would know right away
this seems pretty educational
the membrane GPD rate is based on a standard 60-70 PSI water pressure, and 70 degrees water or something close to that. higher pressure and water temperature could boost the output rate a little . do you have high water pressure? does your water pipe goe through a hot attic this summer? its low flow, so if nothing else is drawing water, the pipes could heat up a bunch on the way through the attic to the RODI.
i called my ro supplier for an upgrade and asked if it is 1;1 ratio he said restrictor is the problem it could be something else but start with restrictor 90% of the time thats the problem
as ive said before, call russ at buckeye field supply. a different restrictor for $4.71 fixed my rodi perfectly! he’s a great guy.
Got the results from my TDS meter!
Source water = 120
Pure water = 12
Waste water = 215
Does this look right to everyone?
Thats about 90% removal. I know some RO units claim to take approx 98% of solids out of the water. I will call russ from buckeye field supply if you guys think i still may be in need of a restrictor. Let me know and thanks for all the feedback.

Is that still with a 1 : 1 ratio?

if it is thats crazy good but crazy thats 90% rejection which isnt as good as it should but good i would replace the restrictor
