Hey Mike, with a TDS that high you should consider some extra pre-filters. Also an adjustable membrane pressure valve will allow you to increase your waist water ratio, not the most efficient method and you won't produce as much good water but it'll be easier on the membrane. After that if you want to get better efficiency you could run the waist water from the membrane into another membrane and so on.

Yea In my condo in Kitsilano the tap water is 7 TDS and i still run a RODI, those membranes are going to last forever at the 5g a week i use.

Actually I wonder if there is something to that. Where he lives, is an established area, with older water mains. My area is fairly new.

It seemed like I would change the 5m pre filter at Mikes and a few days later it was dirty again.
