So I run a water saver BRS 4 stage unit. Recently the resin is getting used up extremely fast, in like 2 weeks fast. I'm trying to figure out why and look for some solutions. I changed all filters less than a month ago, and the membranes back in march.
1. The pressure recently dropped (they are doing some water main construction nearby I don't know if this is the culprit but I went from 65psi to 60, okay 58. I changed the sediment filter to see if it was clogged this had no effect. Possible solution booster pump.
2. TDS creep, whenever you turn on your RODI residual TDS gets through before dropping, my in rating is typically 120 or so then drops to 8 after a minute or 2 -solution TDS creep bipass
3. I have an auto shut off kit, I let my system run all day today, when I came back the kit has stopped the water flow, my TDS on the in probe had risen to 172!! A tds bipass would not help with this build up.
4. Its just not enough for the water here, our tap water was 482 tds the last time I tested it, considering adding another carbon block before the membrane and dual DI cartidges after in hopes of extending resin life.
5. Maybe I seated the membranes wrong, I honestly don't think I did, I checked today they are in there pretty firm.
Any solutions suggestions, would be appreciated.
