Not sure I completely understand you description of events but as long as the water did not go from the tap directly through the RO membrane first, you should be fine. Chlorine and chloramines will kill the membrane if it did not go through the carbon stage first.MarkW19 said:Problem?
It does actually matter but not for something that short term. It will make alot of difference with the longevity of the carbon if it's the first stage. Best to get the larger particles out before the carbon stage.MarkW19 said:So it doesn't really matter what order the water goes through the sediment and carbon filters?
Shouldn't be a concern for anything.MarkW19 said:Some water may have not gone through the sediment filter, but all definitely went through the carbon before it got to the membrane.
Is that ok?
Not 100 % sure on this but if the water is off there will be no pressure in the unit and a good possibility the membrane will not be completely covered by water.MarkW19 said:Is this ok? Or am I losing water from the membrane by letting it do this?
