Hello,
I just set up my RO system i've had for almost a year. For the year i've had it i have not opened it (membrane still sealed) until today. So i hooked it up to my sink and turned on the water and it filled to a certain point then water started squirting out around the intake where it is attached to my faucet. The water (mostly waste water which i geuss is normal) is also coming out in spurts. The water from my faucet is very hard, sometimes i can even see little black specks in the water. Will this affect the RO system? (i know i'll have to change the membranes/canisters more often) I also have an incredibly high pH of around 9.
I'm not sure if this is normal, i might just be nervous since i've never operated an RO system before.
