Show me your dual RO membrane setups!

[mufret]

Thanks for all the good info.

I have been running my RO/DI using a faucet that's on the street side of my PRV. Is there a maximum PSI and if so, what is it?

I wouldn't go higher than 80 psi if you have clear housings. That's why we advise people to put booster pumps AFTER the prefilters - to avoid exposing the prefilter housings to high pressure.

May have to rethink this then. I just tested it and I'm getting 150 psi. Any suggestions?

 

[buckeye field supply]

Can you just tap in after the PRV? I'm wondering why you have any plumbing fixtures before the PRV.

 

[mufret]

I found this on your site: BFS-325 Adjustable pressure regulator kit

Would it work for my situation?

 

[buckeye field supply]

It would, but I'd stear you towards a static (capillary) flow restrictor instead.

Russ, got the part ordered. Thanks so much!

I'm glad we have you here Russ. Always helpful

sorry to dig up an old thread but i've been reading up on this a bit now. i recently purchased a BRS stage 5 plus system and have used it a couple times. it does take a good amount of time to fill a 5g bucket, all i need at one time for my 36g, and im assuming wasting a good bit of water. my pressure is right at 50psi, the recommended minimum pressure. i will upgrade eventually when i have a more permanent setup but would these be the parts required to make it a dual membrane setup, reducing waste water and reducing production time?

Those would be correct. I had to purchase the booster pump as well and after the install it pounds through a 5G bucket with 90+ psi.

I could imagine. It took me between 1 and 2 hrs to fill up a bucket today
