Russ is a True Gem in the Water Purification Industry. :applause:
He was a really help with the design of my new Multi-Sediment Filtration Dual Membrane RO\DI System. Pictures to Come Soon. :wink_smile: Thanks Again.

Please correct me if I'm wrong; 3 micron filters, 1 carbon block, tfc membranes, and 3 di cartridges? What, are you pulling your source water directly from the sewer?
I'm guessing you don't have any diatom issues. Cool set-up.
I am so thankful to Russ and BFS. Great prices, fast shipping, and stand-up customer service.

Corpus Christi Municipal City Water is just plain horrible. My last RO/DI setup only lasted 2 years before the city water KILLED it DEAD. Between the city installing new infrastructure pipes which keep breaking up sediment and rust and sending it down the line (brown and yellow water sometimes... yuk! :sick:), and my initial TDS always hovering around 625ppm; I decided to get a little proactive. This is the $875 beast that I came up with. I also use it for drinking and ice making water which justified the expense with the wife. She is also a nut when it comes to having clean water to drink. This unit should last me at least 5-10 years, and yes the TDS readings are Zero and the end of the line. :wink_smile:

I know what you all are thinking, "He's Crazy", but I can make about 200 gallons per day @ 80psi when I'm in a pinch... Also that $875 included all of the housings and brackets, the initial filters, 30 feet of each 4 different color coded line tubing, a ridiculous amount of quick connect fittings, over a dozen quick connect valves, 3.5 gallon pressurized water storage tank, and all the maintenance filters for the next 3 years.
It was bought in separate pieces which made this project take longer than I thought. I should have just elaborated on a Pre-Configured RO System, but instead I went completely custom. It took me a week just to figure out how the heck I was going to put it all together. I had some great input from Russ but it was ultimately up to me to connect it all up and make it work. Here is how the set up is plumbed.
TDS = 625+ PPM
Pressure Gauge -> 10 Micron Sediment Filter -> 5 Micron Sediment Filter -> Pressure Gauge -> 8800 Aquatec Booster Pump -> TDS Meter -> Liquid Filled Pressure Gauge -> Catalytic GAC Cartridge -> 1 Micron Sediment Filter -> Matrikx 1 Chlorine Guzzler Carbon Block -> TDS Meter -> Pressure Gauge -> 2 Filmtec 75GPD RO Membranes -> TDS Meter -> DI Resin -> Silica Trap DI Resin Cartridge -> TDS Meter
TDS = 0 PPM
:applause:

Those initial TDS readings are horrible! Maybe I wasn't too far from asking if your pulling water from the sewer.
