RO filter problem
I have a coralife RO filter. I hooked it up today and the red waste line has really high flow. I replaced the TFC filter thinking it may be time. This didn't correct the high flow.
Any ideas? |

I have heard that the average Ro unit will disperse 2 gallons of waste water to every 1 gallon of product water. Mine seems to do more than two to one... maybe 3 to 1, IDK.

usually the ratio is 3:1 waste to good. so yes the waste line does have a good amount of flow
