Re: RO membranes
Most manufactures recommend 30 minutes at minimum, I do one hour.

Re: RO membranes
Alrighty then!!! Thanx. I am running the water saver system from the Filter Guys, with 2 membranes. How long would you run the system if you changed out all the filters? This includes a micron sediment, carbon block, the membranes and 2 DI cartridges????

Re: RO membranes
I think 5-10 gallons is plenty.

Re: RO membranes
If you have a sealed quality membrane you are fine at start up. I run my tds meter after the DI chamber if it reads 0 its good to go.
