Today on BRStv, we have a brand new episode of our series, BRStv Investigates. In this series, we explore popular reefing theories, products, methods, and what the manuals are missing, with a focus on putting them to the test! In this week's episode, we take a look at deionization resin and how to make the resins work better and more efficient. There are a few different types of DI resin available these days from single bed anion to mixed bed cation resins and each of them have a different purpose. A majority of resins are color changing and will have a pH reactive dye on the resin to let you know when it is exhausted, but it is still best to use a TDS or EC meter to know exactly when contaminants are coming out of the resin. Now, the color changing indicator can be on either the cation (+) or the anion (-) resin and when the pH of the resin becomes lower than the threshold for that particular media the color will change to a light amber color as the pH of the resin becomes neutral.

Low water pressure feeding a reverse osmosis system can cause poor water production and even low water quality. If you are feeding your membrane with less pressure than the specified amount by your particular membrane manufacturer, we highly suggest adding a booster pump. Booster pumps can be installed almost anywhere before your RO membrane and if you use a float valve to turn off your RODI system we highly recommend adding a pressure switch that will automatically turn your booster pump on and off when the RO system is making water. Adding a booster pump is easy and requires minimal tools to connect one on your reverse osmosis filter system. Step 1. Turn your source water off and relieve any built up water pressure by opening your product water line until it runs dry. Step 2. Determine the mounting location for the booster pump. The location should have a sturdy backing to attach the booster pump’s mounting plate, and it should be clear of any heat sources or possible water leaks. W

Flush Valves are great for prolonging the life of your reverse osmosis membrane. They allow water to bypass the flow restrictor and flush your membrane of any possible built up minerals deposits that could lead to poor performance and possible failure. Installing a flush valve only takes a few seconds, and all you need to is locate your RO systems waste water line and replace your current flow restrictor with a RO Membrane Flush Valve. Most reverse osmosis systems have a barrel type flow restrictor that is easy to locate and replace. However, some do have a capillary style that is found inside your systems waste water line, and can be a little harder to locate. Once your old flow restrictor is removed, you can then install the new flush valve, making sure to take the flow direction into account. Reverse Osmosis Membrane Flush Valves come in many different flow ratings, and selecting the correct one for your system is critical for optimal performance. In most cases, a 75-90 gallon per

Installing float valves for Reverse Osmosis filter systems can help save water and also from costly floods. Float valves are cheap insurance for many different uses from top-off reservoirs, saltwater mixing stations, and even as a backup to your ATO system in your sump, not to mention the countless other applications. All you need to install a Float Valve is a 1/2" drill bit and an adjustable wrench. Just drill the hole where you want to install the float valve, we usually recommend a couple of inches from the top of the reservoir. Then remove the compression nut, ferrule, spacer, and retaining nut from the threaded portion of the float valve. Slip the threaded end of the valve through the hole making sure that the gasket is on the inside (float side) of the reservoir. Then install the retaining nut, you can use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nut but do not overtighten. That will mount the float valve to the reservoir, and you can now connect your water supply to the valve. With

A 150 GPD Water Saver Upgrade Kit can double the product water output of a standard 75 GPD membrane without increasing the waste water output. Installing them is pretty simple, but with all the tubing and fittings it can get confusing quick. We highly recommend taking a photo of your RODI systems plumbing before disconnecting any plumbing for a reference. The 150 GPD Water Saver essentially takes the waste water from the first membrane and refines it one more time, getting the maximum amount of product water out of every drop. Since the second membrane is fed from the first, there is a slight pressure drop and could cause a decrease in performance and rejection. To combat the decrease in pressure, a booster pump kit along with a pressure gauge will be able to get your RODI system right in the sweet spot of 65 PSI.
