I have a BRS 6 stage with booster pump. It's set at 80 psi. My well water is at 900-950 on a normal basis. Coming out of my RO going into my DI is 35-28 TDS depending on my feed TDS. Called BRS and they said the minimum specs on the DOW 75gpd is 96%, which by my calculations in getting about 97% rejection.
So I knew going into this big tank build that water was my biggest problem. But I made about 60 gallons of DI/0tds water before the resin was spent.
Before I run it thru RO I gas it off for 2 days, so I know it's not C02.
Here's a few ideas I have.....tell me if I'm crazy
1. So run it thru the RO system, THEN gas it off, then back thru the RO system again to get lower TDS before I send it thru the DI resin, so pretty much double filtering it thru the RO.
2. Run it thru the RO, then buying a water saver kit, but running the "clean" water thru the 2nd RO membrane (instead of the waste water)
3. Dealing with the fast consumption of DI resin $25 per 60 gallons (2 canisters)
4. Trying out that BRS triple canister of single bed DI resin, which I am not convinced will help a huge amount, maybe a little.
I'm not worried about "waste water" as I can use that to water the garden and fill up the pond. And seeing I have no water bill, no worries about that honestly. But I still have ALOT of DI water that I gotta make.
