RO/DI Upgrade

[stagofdoom]

Hey guys,

I have the Spectrapure Max-cap 90 GPD RO/DI system and I was wanting to add to it.
MaxCap 2:1 Manual Flush 90-GPD RO/DI System

I was wanting to add the Bulk Reef Supply 150gpd upgrade kit. This will increase my gpd and decrease my waste water, but would it work with the spectrapure instead of the BRS.

150 GPD Water Saving Upgrade Kit - Bulk Reef Supply

Thanks

As long as they both use 1/4" RO/DI tubing, it should work.
The upgrade kit is basically just an extra membrane unit that you hook up to the existing membrane unit.
The idea is to have the wastewater from the first membrane pass through the second membrane so the wastewater gets filtered again - in theory, doubling your membrane processing capacity.

Some things to consider:
1. You will need adequate water pressure to push the water through two membranes. BRS recommends at least 65psi going into the first membrane.

2. The bracket clips included with the kit might not fit your existing RO membrane housing if the housing is a different size from the BRS housing. This is not a significant issue though.

Yeah I wanted to make sure it would work before I did anything. Im going to check over the hook up procedure again and make sure. My Water pressure is on the verge of being too strong, so this will be perfect for it.
