General Reverse Osmosis Pure Equipment effluent TDS≤50 is both direct drinking water and raw drinking water. However, even if the RO reverse osmosis equipment is installed, the TDS value is still high, and it is suspected that there is a problem with the quality of the RO reverse osmosis pure equipment. Generally, the higher the conductivity, the higher the salt content, the higher the TDS. The higher the TDS value, the more impurities contained in the water. If the TDS is too high, it indicates that the water has many impurities and the pure water quality is low, which cannot meet the needs of the project.

1. TDS measurement method:

General end customers or distributors are accustomed to testing TDS directly from the faucet, this method may cause errors. The correct measurement method is: disconnect the pressure barrel from the rear, and let the machine maintain the normal water production state for about 10 minutes (the time for the newly installed machine to be discharged will be extended by about one hour), and then take water from the pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane shell. Detection. TDS testing pen has become one of our commonly used water quality testing tools. Open the TDS pen probe cover, press the marked ON/OFF button, wait for the LCD screen to display, insert the TDS pen into the water to be measured, wait for the value to stabilize, press the marked HOLD button, take out the TDS pen to read the value Yes, after the test, wipe the TDS pen probe clean with dry paper.

The TDS value of pure water Reverse Osmosis System reflects the content of soluble substances in the water. The lower the value, the less the content of soluble substances in the water. The unit of TDS measurement is milligrams/liter, that is, mg/l, which indicates how many grams of dissolved solids are contained in 1 liter of water. These include soluble salts such as calcium ions, magnesium ions, etc.; ionic organics such as ammonium acetate, sodium sulfate, etc.; and some heavy metal ions such as chromium, zinc, lead, and copper.

2. Reasons affecting the high TDS value:

(1) There is an infiltration process when the RO membrane is first watered. During this period, a small amount of residual substances in the production of membrane materials will be dissolved in the water and washed out. If a wet membrane is used, the preservative inside the membrane will also be dissolved in the water and washed out. , This process generally takes 1-2 hours, and the TDS, which is externally expressed as pure water, is gradually decreasing.

(2) A small amount of carbon powder and inorganic minerals in the rear activated carbon will be washed out when the water is passed for the first time, resulting in a high TDS. The solution is to fill the pressure tank with water when the first water is made. Then turn on and off the pure water faucet several times to allow the pure water to flush out the impurities in the activated carbon filter element. This process takes about 1 hour.

Third, the solution to the high TDS value

The TDS value of water quality in our country, especially in the northern regions, is generally high. The national municipal tap water is generally around 250. In some areas, the TDS value of tap water and rivers and lakes is as high as 500 or 600, and individual groundwater reaches more than 1,000. And if the source water quality TDS value is too high, it is recommended to add a pre-protection before using the RO pure water equipment.

At the same time, for the problem that the TDS value of RO Pure Water Equipment cannot be reduced, the following aspects also need to be checked:

(1) First check the TDS value of the raw water, the general RO membrane desalination rate is 90%;

(2) If it is a newly replaced reverse osmosis membrane that needs to run for 20 minutes, then measure;

(3) Confirm whether the pure water storage time in the water storage bucket is too long;

(4) If the rear activated carbon is newly replaced, it also needs to be flushed;

(5) When measuring pure water quality, please measure from the reverse osmosis membrane pure water port;

(6) After eliminating the above reasons, you can consider replacing the RO reverse osmosis membrane.
