Air water ice rodi

[ChrisB]

I have a 75 gpd typhoon rodi fron air water ice. I emailed them to find out what my ratio from ro water to waste was and they have not responded. Does anyone have same model and know the rodi to waste ratio? Trying to get a figure of how much water I use. New home owner ,wondering what my 1st water bill might be lol.

Congrats on the new home dude

if no one gives yoou an answer, get a 5g bucket and a 1g container (like the milk ones). Fill up the 1g container with ro and see how much waste went to the bucket. might not be precise, but gives you a starting bench mark

Cool ty , I should have thought of that lol.

Should be like 4:1 you can adjust it.

 

[ChrisB]

How could I adjust it?

 

[cmantis]

Usually there is a valve on the fresh water side.

 

[andylee]

Usually around 5 to 1. I don't think you can adjust it much, otherwise we'd all make it 0:1. It depends on temperature and water pressure (lower temperature and lower water pressure make for more waste).

webSite says they are 3 to 1 , so funny I posted this just got my 1st water bill as I was walking in the door mailman hands me it lol 216 buck ugh.
