R/O unit, Seems like simple question, can't find answer!
OUr well water is between 350ppm and 400ppm so we need it. The water actually kills any plant I water it with except out door plants. All show sure signs of a calcium toxicity even with no nutes added. I'm already buying R/O water from the store and using rainwater with nutrients so adding nutes isn't a big deal to me. Plus I'm pregnant and have a small child, and live close to a lake which I'm sorry to say is fed by the Red River and since the USA has dumped their Devils Lake project into it our Waters are being contaminated more and more each year. Not to mention al;l the crap that is being brought up by the flooding down south.
My house water is at 60 psi. I didn't buy it from culligan or Krevco, and actually researched which of the systems would best suit me for what I needed, which wasn't alot, we don't use excessive water here so don't need a big system.
Forget about the water softener I've turned the bypass back on for now until my water guy calls me back. The pressure dropped while it was on and even with a regeneration didn't get better so I'm sure it needs to be cleaned.
I wasn't getting more than a few liters out of it even when left to fill the bladder for a long time. Now that the pressure is back it seems to be putting out more. It is supposed to be rated for 50gl/day. But it still always seems to have water running through the waste, more so when the unit if full, than when it is empty it seems. Am I just not wait long enough for the bladder to fill for the shut off cut in or could there be no shut off and when it is full diverts all the excess down the drain?
