I purchased a PUR survivor 06 desalinator of Ebay for a good price, and from talking to vendors found that the 06 doesn’t have issues with the diaphragm needing to be replaced like the Survivor 35 every so many years. While function testing the pump with a salt water mix it works well. However, it does have an entirely different taste. Any user of this product have similar experiences? Or anyone have tips on desalination with the pumps?

None
I take it no one has any experience with the desalinating then.
Brand new?
Reverse osmosis membranes are shipped from the factory with a
coating of food grade glycerine to prevent damage by freezing.
The coating acts as a moistener to keep the membranes from drying out in transit. If the membranes were to
completely dry out prior to their installation they
could crack and or delaminate, rendering them
useless. Most manufacturers recommend that the
first few gallons of water produced by a new
membrane be discarded because it may contain a
low level of glycerine. Glycerine is harmless and
has a sweet taste. However, it may have some
laxative effects.
