I just added the BRS watersaver to my Aquamaxx Puratek RODI. I think I did it correctly, but I wanted a second set of eyes to make sure my work is correct. Unfortunately I couldn't go by the BRS video on how to connect the 2nd membrane and reroute all three lines. I know it's sometimes hard to tell from the pics, but I will give it my best shot. My RODI is a 4 stage unit with a booster pump.

Hard to tell from the picture. Did the kit come with a plumbing diagram? Waste for the first membrane goine to the input of the second with not flow resctictor. The permeate from both membranes together. Waste from second membrane goes to drain with flow restrictor.

No, the kit came with nothing in terms of instructions. So I went to the BRS website to watch the video, but the video was based on their BRS RODI so everything was setup differently than my unit. I'm just afraid of breaking something if the lines are not setup correctly.

There's a quick schematic from another post on R2R

Ok. This is how mine is setup? Does it look right?
