That's what I tried to tell my husband. He says "well it is a smaller pipe for it to flow through" But I say " the pipe is bigger than the hole where the water is coming through, so the hole is the restriction".

Long story short we moved in two years ago, shut down the softener becasue we really didn't know how to use it properly. Now starting it back up it's causing low pressure in our whole house so I'm learning about regeneration.

I tried to tell my husband we should do one thing at a time so we can tell what's happening where(just like in the garden) but no, if we do it all now then it's done, right? Wrong! it just means it takes longer to figure out what is going wrong and how to fix it.
Chronic Chrissy Reviewed by Chronic Chrissy on . R/O unit, Seems like simple question, can't find answer! First off i've been googling all night.... I just got a 5 stage R/O unit yesterday. We were going to wait till the weekend to set it up. However upon returning home my husband discovered my 2 year old's Goldfish trying to do the back stroke. So of course I have no more bottled water to change out his tank, it just made sense to set up the r/o and maybe save NEMO. We did id the easy way under the sink and they gave you these nifty pipe peircers to run it off the cold and back into the Rating: 5
