Whats the best way to set up an RO sys for water thats 480 ppm ?
DI going way to quick. i have pre filter, 2 stages carbon,
a 150gpd ro= 14-15tds, and a 75+75 water saver sys from BRS =22tds. if i run the out put from the 150 to the 75+75 i get 1tds but water output is to low. in coming water psi is 64, after the 150 it is 57-58psi .

Check TDS after RO to make sure it's doing its job. Had same issue with DI and found RO to be the problem. Ordered a new membrane.

I'll let you know my output when I install my new membrane. Right now, I'm getting over 200 out of the RO.

That sounds good to me.
right, yes, 14 is the best i get.........well guess my question is or what i was trying to do was go thu the 150 first to get the tds down, then thu the 150water saver. so two ro filters in series, TDS was 1ppm,but my output was just a drip. so can i put a booster pump after the first ro ?
