What RO/DI Unit?

[Myka]

I use the AquaFX Barracuda 4 stage 50 gpd RO/DI unit. My tap water is 50 psi and 92 tds, I get 1 ppm tds out of the RO cartridge, and 0 tds out of the DI cartridge.

Filmtec 50 gpd = 98% rejection rate
Filmtec 75 gpd = 98%
Filmtec 100 gpd = 90%
BFS 150 gpd = 98%

Which means that if you have a 100 gpd unit your DI resin will burn out quicker since the rejection rate is 90%.

From what I understand, a typical unit will have a 4:1 waste water production. I haven't measured mine, but that seems about right.

I've got an aquasafe unit and love it.

About the loss, it depends on your incoming pressure and also the water temp, if it's too cold, you end up wasting a lot of water, same with low pressure.
