1st off I have a water general 6 stage, that has all spectrapure guts that were installed 7/09. replaced sediment and dual carbon blocks with .5 micron filters, and a 90gpd with new flow restrictor cut to size for a waste to product ratio of 4.2:1. this allowed me to fill a 5g jug in right around 2 hours. I have noticed a huge decrease in product recently, so started looking into the problems using spectrapures' forum on RC. so I just got done replacing the 3 prefilters listed above, and flushed the membrane, which did NOTHING. my waste to product is currently 8:1!!!! it takes me about 40mins to make a gallon of ro/di right now when I used to get alot more in the same time period.
I'm in socal, and the input water temp is 22C, input tds is ~420ppm, product tds is zero. I am assuming input pressure is unchanged (my unit doesn't have a pressure gage)as the water source is unchanged. what could be going on here? I can hopefully provide any additional info that may be needed. thanks in advance
there's only so may things it could be, I hope its not the 6 month old membrane or flow restrictor. the autoshutoff valve is working properly. :dontknow:
