View attachment 1703988And yes 3:1 sounds right for what’s happening. Works great I just didn’t realize it would take about 90 minutes to get 5gal. I guess that’s what 50 GPD means if the 200 is faster then I’ll probably buy one

Mines 75 gpd, can be a pain but having an extra water fill bucket to be able to fill whenever is nice. If you're thinking about swapping I recommend checking them out! Very small and has all the hook ups for hose or 1/4 already. Been using mine for over a year and it still puts out 0 to this day. I think that tank should give you a bit of a buffer and fill that up so you always have some ready.

Yes sounds about right I know my 100gpd cut my time in an about half when i switched from a 50. With the 50 I had to really plan ahead. Don’t forget the GPD slows as the filters go bad and you get more waste water

On the suggestion of MOG I have a water softener in front of the ro so hopefully that helps the filters last longer.

But I think the 200GPD is in my future for sure

That might be limiting your flow a bit as well, I'd double check the flow rate on that(if you haven't already). I put my water hook up before my house softener. Didn't even think about putting it after

Yes I ran it both ways and the output rate was the same.

Yeah sounds like the 200+ is what you need! I know when mine dies I'll be upgrading a bit as well. Almost cheaper than buying new filters oddly enough

No complaints at all though! Just never noticed the option for different GPD is all.

No reason I can’t have a few filled buckets with lids on hand at all times I figure

Yeah that's what I do, bucket with float valve and just turn on to fill when needed.

Yeah I have a as whole house softener installed before mine and I go threw filters every 6 months probably should do it sooner on the sediment that’s with high ppm tap water 300-400ppm
