Chrono, as far as i know it shouldnt pulse, the only ones that will pulse are those equipped with a permeate pump... which yours doesnt have
have you confirmed the ASO hookups?
and your output should be zero ppm or close to it with a DI equipped system
lets go back and take the tds measurements again, do all the same test points
inlet
outlet from prefilter
'
inlet to membrane
outlet from membrane
inlet to DI
outlet from DI
waste water
and now we need to check pressure at the membrane inlet with output flow at max
and we need to know brine rate now to verify restrictor adjustment
Ill be honest chrono, if you get out of this without replacing the membrane and/or beads you'll be lucky... but you will know RO inside and out, it is an investment that you will probably get use from for many years... so in the long run the education you have gained is at least an unintentional benefit, I know that doesnt help a whole hellva lot at the moment
but lets not jump to that yet... not without the numbers
BTW, I have an extra quart of beads Ill donate to the cause if you need them
