Free shipping is a plus Yes it is, I hate hate some fish places slap aquarium use on it and charge 400$ when all a re the same setup. They ALL use the SAME filters. Filters are about the only thing that changes and the amount of them.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 How many gallons of water did you all run through this unit before getting 0 TDS? Everything is working as it should and I'm still at 6 TDS I think I've ran over 5 gallons through it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 How many gallons of water did you all run through this unit before getting 0 TDS? Everything is working as it should and I'm still at 6 TDS I think I've ran over 5 gallons through it so far From my understanding, if you have very hard water you might not get all the tds out. I think it will remove up to 300ppm. You just have a tad over 1ppm per gallon, thats good. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 From the purewaterclub instructions on website: "Please flush the whole RO system at least 10-15 Gallons, or drain out the water tank at least 3 times." Were your aforementioned 5 gallons before this process or part of it? Shrimp Life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I was looking at the paper instructions . I will run 10-15 gallons through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've ran 15 gallons through the unit and my tds is 3. Is this a problem? Why isn't it getting to 0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimp Life Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 the tap water was 130 tds. now its still at 3tds. What is the difference between 3 and 0 tds? What does it mean?

I am a newbie with RO unit and help is appreciated! 3ppm is nothing. Your TDS pen is most likely off. When was the last time you re-calibrated your TDS meter?

Shrimp Life Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I never have recalibrated it. I barely use it, my neos params are always stable but I've been using the pen alot llately testing the RO water and now it just stopped working. EEK. Looks like I will be visiting the TDS METER RECOMMENDATIONS Thread, to find a better Tds meter. Things aren't going so well for me lol. So thank you for your help. Ok so I can use the 3 TDS water the same way I would use the 0 tds water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these pens are on the cheap side and they aren't 100% accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Even if it really is 3, it's still nothing to be upset about. Vpier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 My gut instinct was that the pen was off, thank you for confirming that. Well now the pen is broken so I need to invest in a better one anyways. thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Even if it really is 3, it's still nothing to be upset about. I agree. Once you start seeing KH and GH then cartridges need to be replaced. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 When I am not using the unit, is there water still inside and do I need to empty it? Or just store it as is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 You don't want the membrane to dry out, if I remember correctly. I always leave mine connected. Shrimp Life and Vpier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropline Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 On 1/12/2016 at 10:32 AM, OMG Aquatics said: purewaterclub but be sure to buy it on amazon I use the 150 GPD. Their customer service if purchased directly from their website sucks. So what would happen ordering direct? I wanted to get one to use for the house also and I do not see the one I am looking at on Amazon. I am looking at the "0ppm 7st 100 GPD RO 3xDI Water System[RQ-7BBB-100]" one and adding a tank for the fridge\icemaker. Here is the link to the one I want, also going to add some extras. http://www.purewaterclub.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=287 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 You'll never be able to reach their customer service if you order via website unless they changed their ways. On Amazon, they are forced to reply or look at your message or their account health will decline. Dropline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
