Most important is making sure you back flush your membrane weekly. My last one got neglected and when I opened the membrane, it was full of crud. Just disgusting!
Without flushing, you seriously reduce useability and lifespan.

Did I miss something here??

Bottom line, my filters were dirty, I've been running it for about a year and hadn't changed anything out. My bad! Now I know when to change out and will be more diligent. The RO membrane probably didn't need to be changed but I did anyway, it still looked in good shape.

My unit has a bypass valve for flushing. I flushed my old membrane about every blue moon. Japarto was laughing at me when I complained about lack of output. So he gave me a new membrane, I took the old one out and opened it. Just disgusting. Most of it was plugged with brown sludge. The new membrane gives me about 40% more output now, and I flush it once a week, minimum. I should have taken a pic of it...

I send aquasave a mail, as I never did it, and I hear it a fair bid that manny do it,

I do have the booster pump, but than again, that might gust press the sludge even more in it.

at this time I dont have a valve, so I might have to put one in, we se
