Octopus & TDS

[gdemos]

I run the AquaFX Octopus Model RO/DI Unit with a huge Axeon PVC 4040 Membrane.
I am not certain if the RO/DI Unit's integrated Booster Pump works correctly or not, I Am usually able to maintain 40 on the pressure gauge or slightly less when running.

The RO/DI Unit has an integrated 2 stage TDS Meter.
On the In, it usually settles down to less than 10 ppm.
On the Out, I like to see 0, when i start to see 2ppm I change the Carbon//Sediment//DI Resin, which for me is typicall every 2 months.

So I gather I would benefit a booster pump to feed this huge membrane.

To double check I purchased the COM-100 EC/TDS/Temp handheld meter. The meter is factory calibrated, I have not calibrated it otherwise.

I set the meter to NaCl ppm.
In a Beaker of RO/DI Water I test at 3ppm
This is city water.

How will i benefit from a booster pump? The Membrane states it will tolerate 225 psi

Wow, the booster pump you need to push enough water through a 4 X 40 membrane is not the one that comes with the AquaFX Octopus. That pump has 1/4 inch ports. The membrane housing you're using should have at least 1/2 or larger ports. We have commercial pumps http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com...e-Osmosis-Booster-Pump-Large-p.el-cp-butt.htm That would be the smallest pump that would work for you.
