I just got my RO/DI unit a few days ago.. I got it all setup last night, and ran it for ~1HR to clean out all the preserv's in the RO membrane... well after that I tried tasting a glass of the water and it tasted great..
soo, I turned off the water supply to the unit for the night (because I didn't need it running all night), and then when I switched it on again to top-off the water in the morning, I tried tasting a glass and it tasted... well bitter, almost saline... so I ran out some of the water and then tried it again and it was much better...
now for the question(s)...
should I not be 'turning off' the system ?
is the weird tasting water normal or not ? could it still be some of the preservative in the membrane that did not get washed out the night before ?
