    Clack AIO3 check valve ???

    I guess I'm describing this wrong which I kinda knew I was. I'm aware of the other check on the water inlet, I'm not referring to that. The inline check with the barbed connections on the brine/O3 is what I'm talking about. My unit is sending water - like a brine fill cycle - during normal...

    Clack AIO3 check valve ???

    Found water running backwards through my O3 generator and desiccant when in filtering mode. That little check valve - I assume it only there for the short time the WS1 is cycling through modes during regen? The actual WS1 should stop water from coming thru that "brine" port during normal...

    Malfunctioning KL/O3 Iron Removal System Solved

    I bought one from @dittohead and love the performance. It needs yearly maintenance for sure but it's not a huge deal and worth it for how well it works.

    HTP phoenix light duty repair or something better?

    Gamble paid off so far. Hope I don't jinx myself by posting about it. Only real difference was a few gaskets and the main controller. I re-used the whole natural gas fan/valve/intake assembly from the old one because it had a tube between the intake PVC and gas valve that the new LP one didn't...

    HTP phoenix light duty repair or something better?

    I flush yearly but it's very clean every time.

    HTP phoenix light duty repair or something better?

    The old and new unit are the same except LP/NG. Yes stainless tanks. No glycol this is for DHW. The burner is some sort of coper/nickel alloy.

    HTP phoenix light duty repair or something better?

    So... My HTP light duty heat exchanger (NG) developed a leak. Took it apart and found the burner tube full of water. Cleaned it out and it slowly refilled. I was pretty happy with this unit and was using it for radiant heat in my basement floor and it seemed to do fine. So here's my weird...

    *** Solved*** Troubleshooting my new 5810SXT softener. Running out of soft water too quickly?

    I measured my BF, just as you did, @ .28GPM so you need to approx double your calculations. My total salt does is 16 lbs. for 48k grains. I contacted hach about the 30gpg limit and diluted with 1/2 distilled to measure. Multiple tests (including *not* diluting) give me that same 42. My...

    Tried a permeate pump on my new RO system. Didn't work so great.

    I do appreciate your input on this. I did return the permeate pump and asv90 and grabbed a 50gpd 1:1 pentair membrane and electronic shut-off and pressure switch. Everything works much better.

    Ok this makes sense. IDK why my brain isn't working when it comes to this topic. I'm going to try a few things this week... I'll probably try without the permeate pump first and see how the TDS reads.

    Tried a permeate pump on my new RO system. Didn't work so great.

    But how would you control the booster if also used with a permeate pump? It sounds like an ultimate yet expensive setup but the pump would run forever.

    Tried a permeate pump on my new RO system. Didn't work so great.

    Apologies. My old system was a watts WP-4V and after looking at it I see there is an integrated ASOV on top. My new setup is a Ukoke RO8-L and I did remove the existing ASOV to replace it with the 90%. I'm aware of the different hookup layout of the 90% valve. I also bought the permeate pump on...

    Tried a permeate pump on my new RO system. Didn't work so great.

    I think I figured it out. I need an electronic shut off for the supply that closes once the tank pressure is satisfied.
