I'm upgrading my tfc membrane from 50 to 75 gpd...

I'm trying to figure out where to put the new flow restrictor. I thought it was supposed to be as simple as replacing the old with the new, but i have can't find anything on my old unit that looks like the new one. This is the one I got from marine depot:

flow restrictor (http://www.marinedepot.com/Flow_Restrictor_Flow_Restrictors_for_RO_DI_Water_Filter_Systems-Reverse_Osmosis-RO1210-FIRORAFR-vi.html)

Any help is appreciated...

Figured it out thanks to the tech support at Marine Depot. My old unit never had one, so it was probably never working right anyways. Thanks George..

Hmm. Surely your old system had another type of flow restrictor then - or it would not have produced purified water at all. Be happy to help you further...

Good - take it out - you only want a single flow restrictor.
