What a joke! Here's what I found about the membrane on the aquatic life website. The specifications section is blank. Nada. So who knows what you're getting!

I assume that is how their carbon is rated also.

In my opinion two 100 gpd is too much flow demands on a 10" carbon block. With your hard water you should run closer to 4:1 ratio so at 100 gpd you are using 1000 gpd combined or about 0.7 gpm that is pushing the limit of good 10" x 2.5" carbon filters and the 1/4" tubing. If your water supply has chlormines that past the limit. Contact time is your friend with carbon and DI resin.
