BRS 75gpd with super saver upgrade barely drips....

[Eder]

I’ve spent hours troubleshooting and can’t figure this out. I’ve changed filters and resin out and still same results. I have about 80psi going into it and barely producing a drop. Please help friends!

I’ve reseated the membranes and everything as well. I’m getting so dang frustrated.

I would test your psi with a inline gauge between all the filters to identify if your having a problem between certain chambers.

 

[Eder]

Good idea. I’ll have to find me one.

I notice that there is a lot of air in the effluent line. I’ve replaced the blue with a clear line to see what’s going on. It’s snail slow and tons of bubbles

 

[Eder]

If I do find a pressure difference between chambers then I can’t think of what I would do to fix it [emoji2369]

Gauge will be here Monday. Anyone ever have this issue before?

Do you have a photo of your system? With ideally an easy way to see how it's all plumbed? Were you having issues before you replaced all the filters?

Long story short. Never had issues with it.

Did the upgrade to super saver.

Worked awesome for like a day. But we just filled 300g worth for a new tank. Changed filters and resin accordingly throughout. After the first day or so it was barely dripping. We got so frustrated we ended up just buying RODI.

So no. Was never having problems before.

Hopefully these pics help.

If not I can take better ones tomorrow.

For the time being I just bought another system. But I’d like to fix this one so I can still use it and double my output.

Sure. I changed the DI resin x2 and the carbon block and sediment filters x1

Can you start the system and then pull off the outlet side of each different filter in order (just disconnect the john guest hose connectors). If you have good outflow, that filter is OK. Eventually one isn't going to have much outflow... that's the one you need to address.

I have a gauge coming in today so I’ll let you know thanks for the feedback on this so far!

are you sure you hooked it up right?? I have the same system and after I add the water saver the output is a solid stream at 85psi. My guess would be something is not hooked up right or there is a blockage somewhere in the system.

I would almost guarantee it's either your input pressure is too low or it's your flow restrictor leaving the system. Does the water flow out of the system at a fast rate? Or also seems to be a slower rate?

Pressure coming in is 80psi

Water flowing out of the system? As in my product water? It barely drips. And also produces a ton of air bubbles within the RODI line

That’s what I’m trying to figure out brother. I’ve watched the video many times and I’ve also replaced all of the lines. Ugh.

 

[Eder]

when you changed your carbon block did you flush it before hooking it up to your membranes?

Admittedly I did not. Could this have been the issue? I’ve never actually done that before so maybe I’m doing it wrong.

I do flush the membranes before and after I use it the system but not after I change out filters etc.

No your waste water line. How's the flow coming out of the system. 80 is on the high end. Is that before or after the membrane
