Hi Gary, thanks a lot for the video. It is very helpful. I do have a question, though, I have noticed that my RO system stopped making the noise of water going to drain, after 2 months of installation. I used to hear twice a day, but now nothing anymore. Any idea of what could be causing the dirty water not flowing to the drain? No leakage is seen.
I've been watching your videos on RO systems and they are fantastic! ...Question for you! ... Have you ever seen where a softener tank is losing water faster than it's receiving it? We had a tank get depleted and the media/resin ended up in the line going to a pre-filter! .. Luckily it was stopped before actually entering the filter, but would this cause severe damage to the softener if it happened once or twice? Or would it still be okay.. (It's probably tough to say without seeing it). To summarize, the tank had a 3m dual outlet manifold before it which was filtering the water going into the softener tank. Those filters became old, and the water pressure substantially dropped; starving the softener of water.
Great video, thank you. The symptom I am having is that the tank doesn't refill until it's completely empty, then it refills (seemingly) all the way back up. Any idea what would cause that? Shouldn't it refill as water is consumed?
Yes, it should fill as water is beuing consumed. I would check or replace the ASO valve, we have them here waterestore.com/products/reverse-osmosis-aso-asv-4000q
Hello Gary , I am building a water reservoir for my indoor plants and I would like to know the proper way of storing the water in a large container without getting mold issues. Should I keep the lid on the container closed air tight? Should I add an air pump to add oxygen bubbles to the water? How to avoid smelly molding water?
Gary, John, excellent video, this FAQ's on RO Systems, is very helpful.
Great to hear! Please share video with friends and family.
Why would the TDS reading be high at the sink RO faucet, but low at the refrigerator? ie. 56ppm vs 26ppm. Raw is 698
Stagnant water. Let them both run for a few minutes and test again.

You just might not be noticing it or it happens at different times. Run water to mostly drain the tank and you'll hear it start running to drain.

You would need someone to check this out for you on site.

Start with a sanitized container. Keep lid closed with as small of an air gap as possible. Keep cool and out of sunlight.
