I admit that after 11 years in this business I should be more up to speed on how hard/soft/RO water works or not, but up un til recently everything has worked great with just maintaining the salt and changing the filters once a month.
This new/old wash was neglected and last week the water tested at 100 TDS and 15 drops on the hardness test to turn pink to blue. This caused the injectors on my D&S 5000 to plug on the presoak. I had a waterguy change the membranes and refill the charcoal cylinder, which had been bypassed for who knows how long. When the waterguy left TDS was down to 15 and I assumed hardness was on its way down too.
Today the injectors on the presoak are plugged again just 4 days after having them all replaced. I tested the water hardness and it's now around 17 drops to make blue. Can hard water clog the injectors (or the Dema solenoids) in just 4 days?
Clues?
