After shutting off water to diagnose, I noticed the T&P valve was fully opened (by itself). Which, after much googling, appears to be unusual. It seems like when it opens and doesn't close, it doesn't fully open (from what I gather) and should only let out a moderate amount of water (not

In reverse osmosis (RO), pressure that exceeds a system’s osmotic pressure is applied to that system. The pressure forces the higher-concentration solution back across the semipermeable membrane, leaving solutes that are blocked by the semipermeable membrane behind.

We help everyone’s favorite foods and beverages taste better with advanced separations of sugars, dairy streams, and other nutritional ingredients.

To significantly reduce the rate of membrane fouling, RO elements use crossflow filtration. This process forces lower-concentration water through the RO membrane, while the separated flow of higher-concentration water moves across the surface of the membrane, carrying away the rejected salts and impurities.

Reverse osmosis water treatment is also often used to produce ultrapure water for the semiconductor industry , in boiler water treatment for the power industry, and for applications in the health care and bioprocessing industry.

Typically, reverse osmosis water treatment results in a rejection of dissolved salts that is 95 – 99 percent or greater, depending on membrane type, feed composition, temperature, and system design.

We help offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, and universities enhance their facilities with our water-treatment solutions.

Normalization calculation tools  can help distinguish between the normal, predictable performance changes caused by factors such as those listed above, and deteriorating performance caused by membrane fouling or similar issues.

RO membrane performance (improvement or degradation) is affected by a number of different factors, including aspects of the feedwater, such as:

Reverse osmosis water treatment can provide finer filtration than either nanofiltration or ultrafiltration. Using RO as a pretreatment process for ion exchange (IX)  can substantially reduce the operating costs and regeneration frequency of the IX system.

In reverse osmosis (RO), pressure that exceeds a system’s osmotic pressure is applied to that system. The pressure forces the higher-concentration solution back across the semipermeable membrane, leaving solutes that are blocked by the semipermeable membrane behind.

In ordinary osmosis, when a semipermeable membrane separates solutions of differing solute concentrations, the lower-concentration solution flows into the higher-concentration solution in attempt to reach equilibrium: an equal degree of solute concentration on both sides of the membrane. As the amount of solution on the higher-concentration side increases, pressure on that water column rises until it is high enough to hinder the flow of the lower-concentration solution across the membrane. This is the action of osmotic pressure.

However, that leaves open the question of whether there is actually a water heater problem. It is possible that the T&P valve failed independent of the temperature and pressure of the water heater - i.e., just a T&P valve problem.

We provide the most widely used RO technology in the world — trusted globally by municipalities , industries , manufacturers, commercial markets, and families wanting clean, healthy water at home.

Maintaining flow and desired results Precipitate salts and other impurities that a pressurized flow of feedwater forces against a semipermeable RO membrane can clog or “foul” that membrane. This, in turn, can decrease the performance of a reverse osmosis water treatment system overall. To significantly reduce the rate of membrane fouling, RO elements use crossflow filtration. This process forces lower-concentration water through the RO membrane, while the separated flow of higher-concentration water moves across the surface of the membrane, carrying away the rejected salts and impurities. In essence, crossflow filtration happens like this: A high-pressure pump continuously pumps feedwater into the element of the reverse osmosis water treatment system. The pressure forces some water to cross the semipermeable RO membrane, resulting in a low-saline or purified product called permeate on one side, and a high-saline or concentrated brine, called concentrate or reject, on the other. A concentrate valve controls the percentage of feedwater that goes to the concentrate stream and the permeate. In the system, the low-saline or purified permeate — the feedwater that has passed through the membrane — remains isolated from the concentrate flow. The concentrate stream removes the concentrate that cannot permeate the membrane and sweeps them out of the system. Reverse osmosis systems can thus: Produce purified water (or permeate) from a feed stream or brine. Remove a concentrate (or concentrated brine or reject) from a feed stream. Depending on the need and application, either the permeate or the concentrate may be the desired product. Reverse osmosis water treatment can also be used to selectively separate certain ions and molecules, although to a lesser degree than can ion exchange  systems.

It is also possible that the water heater had problems - e.g., a failing thermostat - which resulted in an actual overtemperature/pressure situation. If that is the case then the T&P valve would open, as it should to prevent a tank explosion, but that it then failed to close after relieving the overtemperature/pressure problem. If that's what happened then yes, you still need a new T&P valve, but you may actually need something else replaced - anything from a thermostat on up to the entire water heater.

RO membrane performance (improvement or degradation) is affected by a number of different factors, including aspects of the feedwater, such as:

Compared to traditional filtration technologies that rely on a screen or filter to remove particles, reverse osmosis (RO) is a pressure-driven separation process that employs a semipermeable membrane and the principles of crossflow filtration.

I know very little about home improvement (first time home owner). I had my hot water heater (located in my garage in the corner on a small pedestal) replaced in March of 2021 by a professional.

This exact issue just happened to me: water heater pressure - temperature relief valve was completely open, gushing water.. We noticed the water was not super-heated, so a stuck thermostat was ruled out.. It turns out my house has a Pressure Reducing Valve which failed, causing the water pressure to jump rapidly, which triggered the T&P valve to open. .. Get a gauge and check your water pressure. If it's too high, a new T&P valve won't solve the issue.

Reverse osmosis water treatment provides the finest level of filtration. The RO membrane acts as a barrier to all salts and inorganic molecules, as well as organic molecules with a molecular weight greater than approximately 100. It is therefore a highly effective process for removing contaminants such as:
