Hi all
I have been using a 150 gpd 4 stage ro system for the last year and a half and have been lucky not to have a water meter up until I moved a few weeks ago . My water is 135 ppm and I only use a maximum of 1500 litres a month as it is mainly the tops I do with the pole.I have found this ro unit very slow 250 litres takes 25 hours to produce ! my water pressure on the gauge is 60 and filters have all been changed, I am aware this system wastes a lot of water. If I was to upgrade to a 350 gpd system would this increase the speed of water production? I take it the waste water level would still be around the same? I have been thinking about switching to di resin and using two 11 litre vessels ( one as a pre filter ) and just not bothering with the ro system.
What are peoples views on this? any help would be great.
Many thanks
