Did Honey kill my RO membrane?

LeslieP · 03/08/2010, 10:41 AM

My husband was helping me out over the weekend by filling up my water jugs and he realized that the water going into the RO/DI (AWI Typhoon III) was much warmer than he had meant it to be. It was ~95 F for ~20 min. My TDS of that water was 0 (it's 52 out of the faucet) and then I let cold water run through it for ~20 min and then tested again and TDS was still 0. Did the membrane get cooked or is it still good? Of course, it was a new membrane that I just replaced last month

Thanks!

It should be fine in my experience.

If TDS reads 0, the membrane is fine.
