That picture is from my wash that is already setup. My other wash has the same unit and setup though. I ended up leaving both membranes on, so it is still setup the same way it came.

Now that I have the membranes replaced, I am ready to try and make SF water. I turned the unit on briefly to see what happens and it seemed to run, but I didn't like the look of the gauges. It also stopped after about 1 minute as the pressure seemed to build up, so I shut everything down as I...

That's exactly what I did, but my water lever is only about an inch if not less from where it comes in. I slid a cup under the fitting and manually activated it using the float, but with so little room, maybe I got tank water in the cup as I removed it. Hope that explains it....

Yes, it was the same as the tank. 26ppm. To be fair, it was hard to get a sample as it came out of the outlet, so maybe it had tank water in it as well. I'll try again with the tank lever lower to get a perfect sample.

Got them popped off using a board as leverage since the had a lip. Once I was sure that they just popped off, it was easy to put more force. Was afraid of breaking them at first. Thanks for all of the help.

I measured the reject water for total and free chlorine and both were 0. I checked the TDS in the tank again and it was 26. Looks like I'll need to replace those membranes soon.

I have 2 membranes at that wash, I am putting in SF at a wash that only has six SS bays and no autos. It never had SF before, but my pump stand that I just put in has it, so I am trying to activate it.

I am replacing the filthy membranes on a used stand, so figured this might be the best time to by pass one membrane if I don't need both. I was just going to couple the lines together from the removed membrane to the one I keep. Will that not work? What other adjustments would I have to make...

There were two thick black clamps on each end that I took off before taking that picture. Is that what holds them on? I could have sworn that they were screwed in, but was afraid to try too hard. Any other method I can try other than the garden hose? I don't mind, just have to buy plugs and...

Here is a picture. I cannot get either end off...

Randy, I agree on all points. I never heard of the forum until I bought my 2nd wash, 4 years after the first. I've never cut holes in the discharge tube, but had some with holes in them and thought that they were defective. Almost changed them out until I read this thread lol. Had barrels...

I need to replace the membranes on my Super Saver, but can't figure out how to access them. I didn't want to break anything, so figured I would ask here first. On the the membrane housing, do one or both ends screw off, twist off, or come off some other way? I took the whole housing off of...

For testing the chlorine, will a simple pool/spa test strip work, or do I need to use the powder method that you swirl in a container? Also, I have two membranes on my RO system. They are both 4x40 and should produce 3200GPD. Since I am only using this unit on a 6 bay self serve and have a...

Great idea. It's amazing the simple things that you don't even think of. That's why I love this place:)

You're right, I forgot how it works. At least I'll known if it was the chlorine that killed the membrane. I bought a softener and carbon tank for my other wash from discountwatersofteners.com I'll check local first though for the media. To test the TDS, I have just been testing it from the...

Pat, good advice, I'll do that. Mep, I do have 2 autos, so it does get used quite a bit. Being over a year now, it must be the chlorine or the membranes. I have never changed either, but guess the membranes are not too hard to change. What about the chlorine? Something I could do myself...

I messed with the coin switch and got it running. No idea what I did as I hooked it back up the same way.

I'll check the chlorine and if that's not an issue I will replace the membranes. They are 4.5 years old, so about due anyway. If the large SF tank was contaminated with regular hard water, how long should I expect before the TDS goes back down? Or will it never go low enough without me...

The motor is not running. Could be something else, but I figured the cold was the issue. I started to troubleshoot further, but my hands froze and I stopped. I just know that there is 110v going to the timer. Could be the coin switch I guess, but I remember seeing something about adding...

What is an acceptable TDS range? Mine used to be lower than 10, but I had a check valve go bad and didn't find it for a while, so my sfr tank got contaminated. It is a huge tank, so I didn't drain it. This was over a year ago. I measured yesterday and it was at 41ppm. I haven't checked it in...
