I need help with my brand new RO unit.....

[sillynecco]

I just bought a new coralife pure flo RO unit, 50 gpd.
i am running it right now, and the waste water dribbles while the 'RO' water flows out pretty quick, i would say its running like a 5 to 1 ratio of good water to bad water.
i was under the impression that its supposed to be the other way around.
can anyone out there help me?
im pretty sure i have everything hooked up properly, but who knows?
:notsure:
HELP!

I just hooked mine up the other day. It is one good gallon and 4 or 5 bad gallons. I hooked mine up to the drain on my sink. Dont' have this model though to give you advice but you should probably swap those lines around.

 

[sillynecco]

how much pressure should i have on it?
should i have the sink cranked up full blast?

You have something backward. You are correct in you should get 1g of good water to 4-5g of waste water.
Pressure should be around 60-65psi.

With most RO housings, the waste water is the fitting near the outside and the filtered water is the fitting near the center. Yot may just have the colored hoses wrong.....
