Hi there
I just installed a Spectrapure RODI unit (90 gallons + the 90 gallon piggyback setup)
Components are installed in this order:
Filter cartridge --> carbon --> Aquatec 8800 booster pump --> Aquatec pressure sensor --> RO Flood Guard solenoid --> Membrane 1 --> Membrane 2 --> DI resin --> RO flood guard optical sensor in brute container.
The booster pump is insanely noisy - something is wrong (I've used this model before). It's also difficult to fine tune the Aquatec pressure sensor. Any ideas to optimize this setup?
A few specific questions I'm wondering:
#1. Should I move the solenoid away from the pressure sensor and booster pump? If so, after the 2nd membrane when the good blue water lines have merged perhaps?
#2. Should I add a check valve? I gather the pressure switch can help to prevent backflow. If so, where is best in this setup? Do I need one after each membrane?

Many thanks,
