When your RO starts to give you water which tastes salty, there are a couple of things which need to be looked into:
1) When was the last time the RO membrane was changed ?
Typically its recommended that the RO membrane installed be changed once every year. Of course this time period can vary depending on the TDS value of the raw water. If the TDS is low (<400), the membrane may last more than a year and in some cases when the TDS is very high (>1000) it may pack up in about 10 months. Nevertheless, the membrane is the most common reason for the water to taste salty. Get the membrane changed.
2) Post Carbon Needs To Be Changed
A post carbon module is typically added in between the pure water coming from the membrane and the tap. The post carbon element absorbs gases and organic material which otherwise changes the taste of the water. It also absorbs any trace chemicals which may have escaped trapping in the RO membrane. Sometimes when this module has not been changed for a while, the water may taste strange. If its been over a year, better change this module too, just to be safe.
3) The TDS Controller Needs To Be Toned Down
When the TDS controller is allowing excessive mixing of the water coming from the membrane and the UV tube, the water may taste strange. A quick way of coming to know if this is the cause, is to dial down the TDS controller to allow less water to flow through the UV tube. This will increase the water coming from the RO membrane and will lower the overall TDS value.
