I did not see the BRS You Tube video on RO/DI I would have purchased the 3 reactors instead of two, now I need another filter housing.

Here is my Refurbish SpectraPure 75 gallon RO/DI machine, I replace the 3 filters back in July of this year. My original RO membrane is a 75 gallon a day. My BRS upgrade kit has a 150 gallon membrane up grade.

Do the RO membrane have to match meaning if you have a 75 gallon does the other have to be a 75 gallon one as well?

My incoming water is about 450 and before the DI it is 8 or 10 tds. After the single DI it is ) TDS
I just purchased the 2 chamber from BRS, how should I reconfigure the reactors. 2 DI or 3? Then what about the carbon filters if I do two DI I then could add another carbon filter. Thanks in advance
Carbon x2 depends if you have ammonia and chloride
Chlorine ext

Okay so if I put two carbon and move the DI chamber over to the new reactor what should I put in the last one?

Your adding stages with no idea what there going to do, or if they are even needed.

Have a water quality report from your municipality? Talk to a company that this is all they do, like spetrapure?

Seems to me your just throwing money at a problem you may not even have to begin with.

My suggestion is do not mix systems, either get Speatrapure or BRS or another system, but use they're upgrades. Use one that has C/S.

I purchased a Speactrpure base unit and added the 150 water saver upgrade kit to it, then I added a double DI canister from BRS, I am having issue with my brand new RO filters from Speatrapure, they no longer have C/S so now I have to reach out to BRS for help, which they are gladly doing.

RO/DI high reads. This is my other thread with the issue of high TDS with new RO membranes.
I use all BRS hardware in my 7 stage, but use Spectrapure DI’s and it runs better than all BRS filters and resins. I use the standard Dow membrane (75g) too. PSI is key with double membranes. I’ll check out your thread.
