Ro/di?

[SAKTEK]

Hi guys I have a spectra pure 90gpd unit. I was wondering if I could upgrade my unit to dispense more water? I'd like to avoid purchasing a whole new unit. Thanks in advance.

Why? 90GPD is a good size!

Reason being is that I'd like to be able to make more water in the least amount of time, while also wasting less water. With my new tank being 360g not including sump I want to be able to have enough water in case or emergency.

You sure can. Just get the kit from BRS. It is called "BRS 150 GPD Water Saver Upgrade Kit" and you're good to go.

Stop it, Jesse. I'm all bashful now.

You welcome Raymond and good luck. Let me know if you need any help.

just add another membrane to your 90gpd and it will be a 180gpd. Might need to run a booster pump though.

 

[OCReefMadness]

Do you have booster pump In your RO/DI? You might need the pump to make your water faster and make the membrane last longer.

No I do not, but I can purchase one when I get the extra membrane.

What's your pressure going in?

 

[wickedfish]

Call them. They are open and will answer your questions. They won't sell direct but will tell you what you need. Called em a few weeks ago, very helpful tel:1-800-685-2783

 

[SAKTEK]

It's like 45-50 psi

Thanks wf, I will definitely do that.

A booster pump with increase your output. I think optimal operating PSI is in the hi 60s range

 

[AddictedtoSalt]

I have the spectrapur mpdi 180gpd and they say optimum input pressure should be between 60psi and 80psi.
Lower than 60psi and it won't produce at thw specified rate from what I understand.
I actually had to decrease the pressure going to my unit. It was at 110psi but boy did it make 5 gal. Fast.

Cool I appreciate all the input guys

 

[esanacore]

Usually shoot for 65 psi on the input.

Another stupid question. How do I know when it's time to replace the ro membrane? I've had this unit approximately 3 yrs. I do change the cartridges when my TDS meter starts to read 1, which last me about six months.
