I have a 8 stade rodi system and the last 4 chambers keep filling up with air. I have well water and that is why I have 8 stages.
I have a booster pump and have filled my 220 gallon tank with water but after about 50 gallons the last 4 chambers fill with air, I bleed off the air and is good for anouther 50ish gallons. the picture is my set up to fill the tank and now i have 2 55 gallon drums to be used to make a fill station.

Anybody out their have this problem?

How much water does the well hold ? The unit is sealed so the air must be coming from the feed somewhere

You have your pump installed in a less than ideal location. It should be after the prefilters.

Looks like your second carbon filter is plumbed in AFTER the membranes - I assume this is where your DI used to be. You need to do some re-plumbing if that's the case

Not a great idea to plumb two membranes in series unless you are feeding the unit softened water.

In general: sediment -> Carbon -> Carbon-> strainer -> pump ->pressure gauge ->membrane -> DI

Here is a generic schematic re where the pump should be:
