Rainsoft units in UK - need to ID model of R.O Unit

Hi H2O_MAN,

Thanks for the link.

Q1. When you mean rebed, I assume you mean to change this filter?

Cheers H2O_MAN

This is all new to me and have just googled Coconut shell carbon (GAC).

With you now, so I have to dump the Coconut shell carbon (GAC) and replace with new. Just out of interest what size do you think I would need? Also this has never been carried out by Rainsoft and we have had t he unit for 5 years.

Also the area in the UK was hit by floods and have been without water for 8 days and now have water that we cannot drink, use dishwasher, only for bathing and washing clothes (for safety, until the water company confirms if bacteria had got into the water network)

If the water company confirms that bacteria has entered the system (if the main unit was on bypass since we had no water, but left RO on, do I need sanitise the RO system.

Asking all this because Rainsoft might be asking for £300.00 worst case about $640 dollars approx to santise the system and replace filters.

Also the hyperlink you gave is that for membrane / filters that can be used in chlorinated water such as ours


Cheers

Thanks,

Would this not do the trick?

Ebay - Sanitiser


It sounds straight forward to complete and I believe would not damage the system?

Don't know your background, except that I know you have given plenty of good advice where H2O is concerned.

If you could not afford the £300.00 would you have a go at Sanitising your system and replacing the filters on the RO unit (if you had Manufacturing Engineering Experience, but non to do with plumbing)?
