RO unit not working properly


ninja

Recommended Posts

My RO unit has never worked very well, so I got new filters for it, even though it was new.

My husband opened up the canisters to change them and guess what?

The main one was empty, no wonder, rang the store I got it from and they said its impossible????

What was the TDS coming off the RO unit .... What was missing ? the carbon or the resin ?

My unit has 4 sections, 2 are verticals, 2 are horizontal. One of the horizontals is a sealed unit, change the whole thing.

The other horizontal which is bigger, that was the one that was empty, when hubby rang the supplier they said impossible cause that's the main part??????????????????

My poor shrimp!!!!!!!!

Have you spoken to the manufacturer, When mine came the tap attachment leaked and they sent a new one out the next day they were extremely helpful so if you got the one from the Queensland company speak to them.

I'm guessing a staff member took it out to replace another one and forgot to tell.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
