OK, I got this unit on the 20th, wed.

So far I have run 25 gallons through it and the RO/DI water is still at 0ppm output.

Today, Sat. 23, I filled 2 - 1 gallon jugs, 1 for kalk, 1 for just water.

Both ran at 14 min. and the waste to processed water is 1 1/2 to 1.

For anyone that dosen't know what that means; the unit will expell 1 1/2 gallons of waste to 1 gallon of processed water (2 1/2 gal. total). The waste is due to the unit self-flushing waste from the filter membrain.

I like the low waste amount, I figured I would be stuck with higher.
