• The problem with osmosis

  • Joshua8425

I bought an osmosis system, like this one: But either I'm a fool or something's wrong... The instructions say that the WHITE hose is for osmosis and the blue hose is for wastewater (what even is that?!?!). Anyway, I assembled it, hung it up, connected it, and turned on the water... Only a few drops come out of the white hose, while the blue one has a normal stream... I figured something's off... I started reading the instructions, and it's all nonsense! Why is there some membrane on the wastewater hose?!?! And why do I need to flush it if the osmosis isn't flowing well?! In the link you provided, there's an instruction in Russian; can someone explain it to me??? P.S. I also thought that maybe the colors were mixed up in the instructions—it's written the same everywhere. P.P.S. I have no way to check the water except for tests for P and K, and other tests, but I don't have a TDS meter.

1. The link does not open. 2. It should be like that, but not just dripping, rather a stream with dripping. If it's only dripping, it means there is low pressure in the system. Measure how much water is collected in an hour. It's normal if at least 5 liters with the smallest membrane. 3. The membrane is cleaned from dirt and deposits on the outside. Those who do not have automatic cleaning do it manually with a larger flow. 4. BUY a TDS meter, otherwise it's just guessing.

So, check out the stiffness))

I was wondering who stole my nickname. I understand the principle, but in my office, I have a very expensive setup, and everything is different there. Here, I was surprised by the amount of emissions and how this water can be used (provided that the tap water is initially clean enough, for the experiment I'm keeping it in which there are 4 hard corals - fluffy and colorful - no lower ones). P.S. The water is initially very cold for me, as I have a boiler in the apartment. I think the pressure will be about 3 atm.

1. Yes, I filled about 10 liters in about 2 hours +/- 2. I figured out the membrane 3. We should collect some money for TDS

Offtopic: What fell is lost. He was busy, I sat for a long time under another nickname, then out of curiosity checked - it was free... I shot a message to the admin and changed my name. So, I shouldn't have been absent for so long.
