I have a Waterbox 130.4 coming soon - I want to know this groups thoughts on my RO/DI water - I’m at a loss and can’t figure out what my problem is. I had posted a previous thread last week but now I have the booster pump installed and also installed a pressure gauge. When I first hooked the RO/DI up, I was burning through DI resin really fast so I checked the post RO TDS.
I’m on a 500ft well around Houston, Tx. Water coming directly from the well is 330 TDS and 73 degrees at the moment. I had pretty bad water pressure so I installed a Smart Buddie pump which boosted my pressure into the RO membrane to 85 psi. My RO output (pre DI) is at 20 TDS - below the 75gpd Dow rejection stats. I contacted BRS who thought I had a bad RO membrane, so they sent me a new one. I have the exact same TDS after installing the new membrane. And my product water vs. waste water is around 1:1 - the product water is actually producing a little more than the waste which shouldn't be the case. I'm certain the RO membrane is snug and installed correctly (I've re-set it a number of times) and I know my booster pump is also set up correctly.
RO housing possibly bad? Smart Buddie not restricting enough flow? I have no idea - I don't want to take advantage of BRS and keep asking for replacement parts.
