I live on a well and had to chlorinate my well due to bacteria found in a water test. I took my filters all out and ran chlorine water all through my RO system to kill any bacteria. After that I drained the unit and actually washed with soap inside and out because I am adding a drinking water system with my RO unit. I have added an auto flush kit to my system as I already had to have a booster pump added to the system. My output TDS is now double of what it was before. Previous I had the BRS 150gpd setup which had two 75gpd membranes with a 550 flow restrictor and it produced 10tds water easily before DI. I increased my new membranes to dual 100gpd and an 800 auto flush flow restrictor. Now I'm getting anywhere between 20-30 TDS before my DI stage.
My system is plumbed bas follows.
Booster pump > inline pressure gauge > TDS meter > valve > 5 micron sediment filter > 1 micron sediment filter > .2 micron carbon block > RO membrane which has the waste of one membrane as the source of the second membrane. Then onto the pressure shut off switch for booster pump > Y splitter. Then either onto the DI canister or through a check valve to drinking water pressure tank.
Is the increase in TDS from my auto flush? New RO membranes? I did flush out the first xx gallons just to clear out any lines of yucky water.
