Nope, no booster pump lol. I’m not sure what out pressure out here is.

I recommend getting a booster pump. Some people don’t understand why they seem to be as much money as they cost. However, you’ll understand that they’re worth every dime after you get one.

The di resin is PACKED in there and would probably zero out your source water for a bit if it had to. The carbon blocks do release tiny particles for a bit.

I know it’s packed well. I appreciate it.

Clear cans. BRS 4 stage value (no pressure meters) the membrane Was dry for a while. I actually never ran the unit. I got it to cannibalize but the homie had a need.

It may well come down to that.

And it’s appreciated more than you know. I will get a pressure meter for it.

Does your wife know you are asking for pictures of cans?

You’ll be happy you did. Better waste water ratio, increased membrane performance and decreased DI usage.

Bro I'm happy you have it and are putting it into use.

I need a booster too. I've burn through DI, have 41psi input, and 250 tdi incoming

crusso1993 · Feb 5, 2023

BTW @Fishy888 - it’s not unusual or uncommon to have air in the canister. It does not affect performance.

Yeah, that 41 psi is killing you!

You don’t want to know what my TDS is coming in.

It is for sure. I never think about it! That's my entire reason I haven't gotten one. I've burned through half a canister of di in 60 gallons, the entire system was rebuilt Jan 10th.

I gave a 5 stage SpectraPure set up w/booster to a guy who lives 1/2 a block from me. He had some cheap, point of sale no-name thing running and was getting 70 gal from a full canister. I hooked everything up and got it running for him. He came over the next day and was like a kid on Christmas.

In case you were wondering, my incoming TDS is a shade over 1100. Yes, you read that correctly. 1,100 in.

Edit: “point of sale” is NOT what I typed!

I believe you on the TDS. In the summer, I get up to 550 or so.
