Honestly, I don't believe those pressure fluctuations are causing the issues you're experiencing.So I contacted BRS last night and the agent I spoke to thinks it could possibly be a pressure issue due to the fluctuations I was having that I described in my original post and to the slight fluctuations I am currently having. At this time, BRS is sending out a new gauge to me. This is what the gauge was doing last night after I got off the phone with BRS:
I am interested to hear what you guys think. I am very surprised that the slight fluctuations that I am currently having would cause the issues.
- 63 - 64 psi with source water hooked directly to gauge with faucet fully open
- 60 - 62.5 psi with rodi running and faucet fully open
- Later that night gauge was resting steady at 64 psi

My experience as well. As long as there is sufficient line pressure (50 psig or greater), the unit makes clean water.Nor do I... whenever I run my dishwasher or do the laundry, my pressure fluctuates and I have no issues making water.
Don‘t know if it was mentioned before, but have you tried removing the second membrane to see if your system operates normally as a single membrane 75 gpd unit?

Well, if that's the case, then I would never be able to make 0 ppm TDS water since our water pressure is all over the place!I explained to the BRS agent that I don't think the slight fluctuations in pressure would cause such odd results, but he expressed that even slight fluctuations in pressure would cause the issues that I am experiencing. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.
Did you ever try hooking it up to an outside spigot to see if it reacted differently (input line from a faucet is tiny)?
Was there anything in particular that you identified as the root cause of the failure? (just curious)@Bulk Reef Supply refused to take back my faulty RO unit as well. They trouble shot for a few emails and then just straight up refused to do anything about it. I rebuilt the system with quality components and it’s working great. To be clear, in both cases it seems the inmate is running the asylum. You had good troubleshooting help here, and no way their pressure excuse is reasonable. I have been running RO units since the 90s and I have engineered sealing systems that are rated up to 20,000psi. They really don’t have the expertise or common sense to be selling RO units, and it’s so frustrating that they didn’t provide reasonable support for myself and a number of others I have stopped shopping with them.
The 10” filter housings were misshapen. The o-rings can’t seal against a warped surface. I replaced the filter housings that BRS was POSITIVE were not the problem and refused to replace under their worthless warranty, and now no leaks. Imagine that.Was there anything in particular that you identified as the root cause of the failure? (just curious)
Thanks for that! Good to know!The 10” filter housings were misshapen. The o-rings can’t seal against a warped surface. I replaced the filter housings that BRS was POSITIVE were not the problem and refused to replace under their worthless warranty, and now no leaks. Imagine that.
