Thank you so very much for this video, I was looking for how to install a flow restrictor especially the direction of the arrow and you are the only one showing it! Great job!
Hi, I RO system that is modern that does not have all those plastic tubes, but mine does have 4 ports that I hooked up, 1, Water in - 2, Drain Out, - 3, RO water out - 4, Tank Out; Can I still use this permeate pump. It looks like I can Water in & Drine out port looks easy, but can I take my hose that goes to the tank and put it in the other port of the permeate pump and the last port of the permeate pump to the tank.
So essentially its a smart ASO, that uses unrestricted pressure of output/"waste water"/drain channel to create negative pressure/pump behind the membrane, with positive byproduct of increased suction into membrane equal to power of the drain flow; where normal ASO just restricts the main inflow based on current negative pressure/leftover capacity of the tank and does not touch the power of output/"waste water"/drain channel. Sounds smart.
@@21boxhead Not really. TDS creep happens when water sits in the membrane like it does overnight. an Auto flush timer installed will release about 200 ml of water per minute for about 5 minutes every couple of hours. Kinda wasteful though.
My permeate pumps fails after a months use. I've replaced it twice now. Does removing the aso valve damage the permeate pump over time ? I know my system is losing pressure because my ro is hooked up to my fridge water and ice and eventually the pressure weakens from the the ro and water starts leaking out of my ice maker. Does anyone know why my permeate pump keeps needing to be replaced to fix this issue? The fridge sensor for the ice maker needs the higher pressure from the permeate pump in order to shut the fill valve off. Someone please help!?
t.r. birmingham - maybe you’re r/o tank needs air. They usually factory charge at 5-8 psi, but after a few years they tend to loose air and u won’t get the same output. Pump 5-8 psi back into the tank if is needed. If psi in tank is ok,then maybe demand for water is higher and u will need to add another tank
What model permeate pump did you use? You're not the only person who has experienced pump failure. The Aquatec ERP-500 pump I installed didn't even last 1 week.
+MrMinecraftAtlantis It is a pump for the permeate (or clean) water. Without it, your will lose pressure through the filter system. With it, you will not have any pressure drop through the filter system.
@@uswatersystems I watched another video that said specifically that the permeate pump does NOT raise pressure. czcams.com/video/ngWKQ5S6xKk/video.html Which one of you is correct?
@@bcbock The permeate pump itself doesn't raise the pressure, removal of the auto shutoff valve raises the pressure by not stopping the system at ~60% of your line pressure.
What about membrane life with this pump bcoz it reduce the drain water amount and one more thing how can I use it with the ro system who have no pressure tank..
People DO NOT remove your aso valve. I can’t believe this guy did that lol. By removing the aso valve you allow your system to run more frequently and that causes tds creep. This means your tds will be higher. You don’t have to take my word for it even though I install RO systems. Test for yourself.
Installation is not complete, why?

Me too! thank you
Thanks! this is the clearest description I have come across.
More knowledgeable video for ro technicians . Thank you very much for this valuable video .

WELL DONE - WELL EXPLAINED
Why the Shutoff valve is eliminated? Do we needed? Please explain. Thank you!!!
please, do you have a diagram conection pump inverse osmosis domestic, please
I have a home master RO system but the ASO valve is present
How long is the lifetime?
please, do you hace diagram instaler conection pump bomb epr1000
Interesting and i wonder why other installations on youtube keep the ASO valve.?
FROM WHAT I'VE READ TO PREVENT "TDS CREEP" ALSO
ADDING ASO WILL LOSE SOME PRESSURE
So essentially its a smart ASO, that uses unrestricted pressure of output/"waste water"/drain channel to create negative pressure/pump behind the membrane, with positive byproduct of increased suction into membrane equal to power of the drain flow; where normal ASO just restricts the main inflow based on current negative pressure/leftover capacity of the tank and does not touch the power of output/"waste water"/drain channel. Sounds smart.
does adding this pump increase or decrease the water quality of the product water?
Neither. The pump won't affect the quality, it will just give you higher water pressure.
@@uswatersystems What about TDS Creep?

Add a link to description please
Or not...
So.... What's a permeate pump again? It's nice to know how to install it, but what is it lol!

Genius although now I don't know where my stop valve you disconnected first connects to!?
@@bcbock The permeate pump itself doesn't raise the pressure, removal of the auto shutoff valve raises the pressure by not stopping the system at ~60% of your line pressure.
What about membrane life with this pump bcoz it reduce the drain water amount and one more thing how can I use it with the ro system who have no pressure tank..
please digram valvule shut off
Using color coded tubes would simplify the video..

Aha, that might explain why my TDS is actually higher on the output side than the input.
I guess I'm going back under the sink....again.
If you only use a little bit of water at a time then you should keep the ASO valve. It should have been said in the video.
PERMEATE PUMPS ARE ANNOYING THEY KEEP CLICKING IF YOU HAVE EMPTY TANK THEY WILL CLICK FOR AN HOUR IT'S VERY ANNOYING
Not as annoying as people typing with the caps lock on.
