Lockdown has meant I ended up with Amazon vouchers for my birthday, some spare time and a desire to experiment....
This all lead to me getting an RO unit from Amazon which looks relatively decent but I can't figure out how it is plumbed together....
The manual is poor (if for an un pumped setup and very high level) and I haven't been able to get a response from the seller (Covid 19 related I hope ) but it doesn't seem to make sense.
Everything is plumbed together quite tightly and cable tied which makes tracing it quite difficult but as far as I can tell the flow is
I was expecting the system to have an auto shut off valve and not a solenoid but I am not 100% if it even is a solenoid but I cannot figure out what else it could be?
But assuming this is a solenoid then I cannot figure out how to run it without the pump running dry. With the pump off, water will stop between the sediment and carbon filters and it would have to wait for the carbon filter to fill before any water made it to the pump.... this seems a bit odd. Same problem with flushing the filters, you don't seem to be able to as the solenoid would stop any water getting into the carbon filter at all?
Is this a solenoid valve and should it not be after the pump?
