Should water be coming out of RO faucet with full pressure if the tank is off?

I recently reinstalled an existing RO system and after letting the system fill for a few hours I opened the faucet to purge the system as recommended when replacing filters/cleaning the system.

But after 20 minutes it never ran down like I remember it doing in the past. I had to shut off the supply valve at the wall and then it eventually stopped once the tank emptied.

With the supply valve open, I shut the tank off and opened the faucet and the water was coming out full pressure. I assumed it would be slow as it’s filtering through the 5 filters and also discarded the brine.

Is the system fucked?

How to change account email without access to og email?

I didn’t realize my account was tied to a domain I recently got rid of. I contacted the domain company to see if I can somehow get temporary access or regain the domain and they said I’m shit out of luck.

If I go to the synology site and try to login it says it wants to send a code to the email I no longer have access to.

I went into DSM - Personal - Account and changed the email address there and clicked apply. It says it’s unverified, so I selected send verification email, but I never receive anything from the newly added email address.

Can I change the account email from DSM? If so am I missing something?

How to test RO system after it sat unused for over a year.

I had to remove my 5 stage RO system from under my sink and it ended up sitting filled with water unused for over a year.

I recently reinstalled it and before installing the new filters I completely emptied the tank, added some bleach (probably too much) to each of the 3 filter housings, filled it with water and then completely emptied the system at least 50 times over the course of a week. Basically once the water stopped smelling like bleach I purged it another 20 times.

I added the 5 new filters, waited a few hours and then completely purged it. I did that at least 20 times over the course of a week as well.

I just started drinking the water and it tastes different than the bottled water Ive been drinking the last year or so. I’m not sure if it’s different bad or just not what I’m used to, so I want to test the water to make sure it’s safe.

My concern is the water that sat in the tank for so long. I obviously discarded the water in the tank, but I don’t know if there would be any sort of growth or buildup I should worry about. My hope is the bleach killed and sanitized the tank and lines, but I would like to test it to be sure.

I will be purchasing a TDS meter to test the PPM, but is there another type of test I should do to make sure the water is actually safe?

The only filter between the tank and tap is the inline coconut carbon filter, so I assume if the bleach didn’t thoroughly sanitize the tank that filter isn’t going to fully remove whatever is left.

How to save game data before giving Switch to sibling?

I would like to give my Switch to a sibling and don’t plan on getting another console anytime soon, but I want to make sure I save my game data just in case I buy another one in the future. Specifically Mario Maker 2 because I have created a ton of great worlds.

I had Nintendo online, but apparently it lapsed and I don’t want to pay $50 just to back up to the cloud before giving away the console. Also does that even backup everything and will it retain the data even if I cancel the online subscription?

Ideally I could back it up to an SD card and remove that, then install a new one before giving it away.

I wasn’t planning on wiping the Switch, just changing the email associated with the account so they have access to all my games. I would create a new account if I ever get another Switch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
