A 75 gpd membrane with a proper flow restrictor will still produce apx. 4 parts waste water to 1 part purified water, so it's no more "efficient" in this regard.

What a 75 will do much better...

Hi folks - thanks for the heads up Myka!.

Carbon blocks do a much better job than GAC in this application - so much better that the GAC isn't really worth having in that position.
