I replaced all my return hoses with pvc plumbing this week and Today I set it up pumping in a rubbermaid full of tapwater to rinse out the manufacturing dust. This was apparently a very bad choice, since I took the system out of the water and see some mild orange deposits in the drilled PVC holes. My copper test doesn't show anything remarkable, so I assume its all good old iron oxide.
I brushed it out as well as I could, and set it rinsing again in what RO water I had left from filling the tank. I should have done the initial rinse in RO water, but its about a half hour drive to wal mart and I guess I was just a little lazy.
Is all lost? Am I going to have to put out for a new pump to protect my system from the iron?
