How long should it take to flush ap200?

Should not require no more than 5 minutes according to instructions. I suggest at least ten seconds each time you use it after that. It is useful to soak the filter in water prior to installing. Be sure to wash the filter housing and o-ring gasket before installing.

Just purchasing an item will not solve your problem. In order for me to answer your question I need to know a bit more about the flush issue.

You do not back flush RO units. Swap the blue and the red tubing connections on the RO unit and run everything to waste for several minutes. This is supposed to rinse the crusty buildup off the membrane.Or call Coralife tech support.

The video i saw shows that you need to use the red valve for a good 3 seconds to flush out the system the first time you use it.

I just read John Moore's answer and that actually might be the best way, at least if your cleanout is upstream of the blockage. Pour the stuff in dry and let the next flush expand the product, and carry it toward the blockage. Just guessing here.

This requires a multifaceted answer. First of all, how large is the sediment your well draws in? These filters are available in several different screen or mesh filter sizes. If it is sandy, you need to compare the size of the sand to the micron size of the filter element. I'd say this is the most important research that you need to do. Next I'd ask how much sand gets drawn in say daily, then over the course of a week. Thus could be determined by how much sand is in your toilet tanks, (when you take the lid off and look inside); then how often do you clean the screens on the washer? Lastly, do you see sand in the faucet arreaters? If the answer is a great deal to any of the above questions, I would advise you to get a filter which is one pipe size larger then then waterline coming from your pressure pump/ inlet to your house. This will allow a longer time between flushing intervals of the filter. I have used them in this application in the past, with great results for our customers. If it is installed correctly, the drain on the bottom would be run to the outside,or a nearby drain. Be sure to install a union on the drain line to allow for occasional disassembly. When the filter shows signs of being clogged- sediment in the bottom, color in the screen; then you flush it out for 1-2 minutes, until clear. I hope this helps you. I am a plumber in northern Arizona, and would recommend this item.

Fill the unit with white vinegar and water (40% water:60% vinegar) and run the unit for 45 minutes. Dump the mix out and refill with water.This should help.eb

By the way, make sure you follow the flushing directions and let it run for 5 minutes.

You have about 30 Seconds when you app spraying before the nozzle will clog. You can clean the nozzles in acetone. Better Energy Store

I've had no problems at all---works like a charm. I love it. Now, I'm amazed at how long other toilets take to flush---all that water gone. But, mine is used with the American Standard toilet--don't know why that would make a retrofitted not work right, though. Maybe you just got a bad one.

It's not too hard, use a knife or something similar to loosen it up together with water it should flush out fairly quickly,

Quite while. I fill it and then walk away, so it takes 2 or 3 hours at least. If I go back to the kitchen I often top it up, it seems to work faster if it is full or near full and using the entire filter.

If you drain it completely bout 30 minutes. But three mechanics can wash up and not use it all.

5 to 10 minutes, you probably won't get all 6 quarts out. Best to drain oil manually, safe time and install Fumoto drain valve. This fluid evacuator is great for enclosed transmissions ("maintained free transmissions")

I would say within a 3-5 hours of taking cleaner. That's strickly my opinion .

I only back flush for 2mins and repeat several times until water runs clear. Sure, if you let it go, I imagine you would have a major problem somewhere. I love the Flush King. It works great and leaves tanks relatively odor-free.
