Into the woods by 10:00 AM. Disconnected all the lines on the R/O. Brought the lines back to the farmhouse where they were rinsed with a bleach solution to prevent mold during the off-season. The R/O is ready to move out of the woods when we have help to move it.
Removed the pressure vessel to inspect the defuser. The defuster is intact. We suspected a crack caused poor R/O performance. We had two new membranes. Why would they have fouled up? We’ll send the membranes for washing. They run a pre-wash flow test. If the pre-wash flow test is low that would indicate the membranes were fouled up. But it won’t tell us why they fouled up.
Back to the farmhouse by 2:00 PM.
