Hi guys!

Just wanted to say I really like your products! I've had this system for some time now. About 2 years before the name change actually;)

Yeow - that system is from years ago! FYI - When you need new housing orings we have those in stock. Looks like you have a carbon block in the DI resin housing?

Yeah, I added a second carbon block and now use 2 stages of di resin. Works well. My incoming tds is 520-550. The ro stage brings it down to 9-12 and I get 0 after one resin stage. I do burn through resin quickly. Not sure why though. I'm thinking it could be high co2.

One other thing, what would I need to purchase to add on a pressure tank for ro drinking water? Can one pressure tank supply my fridge with water and a faucet at the sink?

Do you change the plumbing such that the first carbon feeds the second carbon, and the second carbon feeds the RO? If not, then your second carbong is AFTER the RO membrane.

Our Add-On Drinking Water Kit will do just that.

I did change the tubing around to accomdate the 2nd carbon block. The first carbon block feeds the second then it goes into the ro. The di is after the ro.

Thanks for the link! Just what I thought I needed.
