RODI condensation?

[Odle57]

Does anyone have a problem with their RODI putting off a lot of condensation? I just installed it today and its dripping like crazy. Its not leaking, everything is tight. I just dont know if the water coming in is too cold for the system?

Not unusual - especially in situations where you have very cold feedwater and vere humid air.

And 80+ degree weather in a city where it should only be 50 right about now.

i run full on cold water and half on hot water to get the water from being so cold,the systems do best with 60 to 77 degree water

77F just happens to be the temperature at which most manufacturers test their membranes, and accordingly, the temperature at which flow restrictors are spec'ed.

There's really nothing "ideal" about 77F in terms of membrane performance - it is just a standard test condition.
