Thanks for posting the findings and solutions Russ. And I didn’t realize water temperature was an input to restrictor sizing. Makes sense, but I’ve only seen flow restrictors matched to membrane capacity (gpd).Findings so far:
*Concentrate tube was plumbed to the DI
Fix: Re-plumb unit correctly
*Very low system pressure even with booster pump. Found that system did not have a flow restrictor.
Fix: Install flow restrictor sized for cold feedwater in NH.

Already ordered! Thanks again!And a triple probe tds meter coming as well.
I cant believe this lol! I’m happy! Its ridiculous how much money monthly I was spending.... imagine in 5+ years....Really nice to see everyone trying to help. Hopefully OP will save lots of money now and have a good working system.
Great! Thank you Russ!Not necessary to shut the feedwater off, as long as your ASOV is working. Will have zero effect on the DI
If you go through a lot of it then you probably need to have separate cation and anion resin chambers. That way you will only need to replace the anion which will be cheaper in the long run.
Have you looked your municipal water supply report? It is available to the public. I am thinking that maybe you are using a regular carbon block to filter out chloramines, and that won't work. If your city water does use chloramines as a disinfectant, then you will want to get the BRS universal carbon block.
You would be getting no RO water if it didn't have a flow restrictor installed. So yes... your system has a flow restrictor. If it is not visually obvious, remove the concentrate tube from it's fitting and look INSIDE the end of the tube.Can someone explain more about a flow restrictor on the waste line? I have an RO buddy and I don’t think it has one. Does that mean too much water is going the path of least resistance and out the waste line?
It CAN work, but it is probably not the most prudent approach.
