I have my pressure pump after pre filter and 2 carbon blocks. Gauge is there.

Why not?
Your incoming TDS dictates this. I would not use two with high TDS. The second membrane would get really high TDS resulting in less then perfect outflow.


With low TDS your waste water is clean compared to most, so why not run it through another membrane.

If your water is clean enough you can restrict flow even more to save that much more water.

Buckeye is talking about tuning your system for optimum production which can be done with two membranes provided your water is not bad.



I get away with 2 cheapys because my incoming water is only 27ppm tds, my DI last years in small cartridge housings. It would be silly to run just one membrane and not restrict flow even more then normal. I always have 0 tds before DI.

Really this all depends on your TDS, buckeye will shoot straight they always do.
