Alright man first of all thank you all for super informative info here!Guys - I zipped through this thread quickly - here's some feedback:
*Don't use GAC as a prefilter. Use a carbon block instead.
*Don't orient your DI filters horizontally. Always make them vertical with bottom up flow.
Some jargon:
*Resin that has both cation and anion beads is called MIXED BED (rather than dual bed)
*The clear vertical "filter holders" on systems used in this hobby are called HOUSINGS (rather than "canisters." And yes, I know one of the vendors in this hobby erroneously calls them canisters. Like fingernails on a chalkboard!)
One more thing:
On a typically configured RODI in this hobby (sediment filter-> carbon block->RO membrane->mixed bed DI; you'll want a THREE PROBE inline TDS meter
with probes on the feedwater, RO water, and DI water.TRM1 Tri Inline TDS Meter
At Buckeye Hydro we specialize in providing the highest quality water filtration systems and accessories for every potential need.www.buckeyehydro.com
Add additional probes by adding 1, 2, or 3 probe meters as needed - you'll want a probe after each membrane, and after each DI stage.

Have a quick question for you @Buckeye Hydro
Please take a look at my system. Maxwater flow 100gpd.
Id like to set this up proper with what you suggested. Do you have proper filters compatible with my system? I'd like to utilize what I have as much as possible but do away with the tiny DI housings and upgrade to bigger housings for DI.
I just went to make some water and my membrane must be shot! I may have to upgrade this housing as well as I dont think there is a suitable membrane available to fit this housing?
I'm looking to utilize but customize what I have any help would be greatly appreciated.
