TDS Creep

The appearance of salt in RO product water which sometimes occurs as a result of the reduction of differential pressure across the membrane as can occur when the RO unit has been shut down for a period of time. Water flow will cease to permeate through the membrane when there is insufficient differential water pressure across the membrane. However TDS permeates through the membrane as a function of the TDS concentration difference across the membrane.
