Need ID for RO lines

Abso · 01/05/2008, 07:05 AM

I am sure about the water inlet line but not sure which is waste water and which is the RO water for tank.
Is the drawing correct?

Yes that is correct. The waste water line is always "offset." The product water is in the center.

For what it's worth, you should have something like this: http://www.spectrapure.com/St_quality_p5.htm

That way you will know when you need to replace your filters.

What is the use of the thing on the waste water line?
Can i remove it? It is leaking water sometimes.

That's the flow restrictor. You need that or you won't get any output water.
