No we don't, we are considering one. We just moved in here a couple of months ago, and have a whole list of improvements that need to be made.
You can make ANY RO membrane work at a 2:1 by changing the $4 flow restrictor... you certainly do not need a second membrane to do this.
Yes - your Total Hardness must be off the charts. We can help you with a softener if you decide to go that route.

This is a good post for me, trying to figure what to do as well.
I'm also in Ca, and I rent, so water waste is a big deal for me, and my present filterguys RO/DI seems to not cut it for me, and those guys are no more so it's confusing me what to do, almost seems better to just buy a new unit right now.
I thought our TDS was high at 430ppm, but geez I'm glad I'm not in az.
I did recently consider the BRS 2:1, but here we have chloramines, and I did not see anything mentioned for a chloramine block on those, so I'm trying to be a cool renter and not wasteful, but w/out breaking the bank either, wondering what my best options are, as well as pointing out to op who's also in Ca they may have chloramines as well.

Thank you, appreciate that, I think it was you guys mentioned stepping for their systems for replacements.
Mine has been in use for many years, it's body/frame is rusting out and that coupled w/ the water waste issues we have here...landlords freak about water, especially w/ our present drought issues, need to be cool to keep tank here, so I'm just looking at options right now
Yes. Called a flow restrictor. Every system has one.
HOWEVER, realize that the recommendation for a 4:1 ratio comes from the membrane manufacturer. So by reducing the amount of concentrate ("waste water") you may shorten the life span of the RO membrane.
