150 GPD Water Saver Upgrade Kit

Why does BRS recommend this?

Water Saving Upgrade Kits are probably our most recommended RODI upgrade. If you have proper pressure (65+ PSI) we highly recommend installing the kit, because it will produce water twice as fast as a standard 75 GPD or 100 GPD membrane while cutting the amount of wastewater in half.

The BRS 150 GPD or 200 GPD Water Saver Upgrade Kit will increase the production of any BRS 75 GPD reverse osmosis system to 150 GPD or 100 GPD RO membrane up to 200 GPD without having to use any additional water. With the installation of this kit water production will increase from approximately three gallons per hour to six gallons per hour! It does require 65psi or more into the first membrane in order to function properly and be efficient. If your home’s water pressure is less then the recommended PSI do not worry, adding a booster pump is simple and only takes a couple of minutes.

 

Compatible with:

150 GPD Water Saver Upgrade – All BRS 75 GPD RO/DI Systems

200 GPD Water Saver Upgrade – All BRS 100 GPD RO/DI Systems

 

Recommended Conditions:

• Minimum Water Pressure – 65 PSI
• Max Water Pressure – 90 PSI
• Recommended Water Temperature – 77°F
• Recommended Max TDS – <300ppm

 

Water pressure can be increased by adding a booster pump before your RO/DI system if a pressure increase is required. Low pressure will cause slow production of product water, with excess production of wastewater. Pressure over 90 PSI may cause damage to the RO/DI units filters and components.

 

Recommended Flow Restrictor for 75 GPD RO Systems – 550mL/min

Recommended Flow Restrictor for 100 GPD RO Systems – 800mL/min

DOW Filmtec 75 GPD Membranes have a 96% – 99% typical stabilized salt rejection rate that can be reproduced through the following conditions;

• Source Water Pressure – 50 PSI / Membrane
• Source Water Temperature – 77°F
• Source Water TDS – 250ppm Softened Tap Water
• Recovery – 15%
• Minimum Salt Rejection – 96%

DOW Filmtec 100 GPD Membranes have a 96% – 98% typical stabilized salt rejection rate that can be reproduced through the following conditions;

• Source Water Pressure – 50 PSI / Membrane
• Source Water Temperature – 77°F
• Source Water TDS – 500ppm Softened Tap Water
• Recovery – 15%
• Minimum Salt Rejection – 96%

 

*High TDS – Source water with high TDS we do not recommend using the 150 GPD water saving upgrade kit. If used you may experience increased DI consumption. The system will work as intended increasing filtered water production rate and decreasing the amount of waste water, but the overall amount of TDS that comes out of the system may be slightly higher than a single membrane system. Because of that your DI consumption will increase. We do recommend using two DI canisters for 150 GPD systems.

**Drinking Water RO Systems – When filling up the pressure tank will increase the back pressure, in turn will take longer to fill and increase the waste water produced by the RO system. We highly recommend a permeate pump for these applications to minimize waste water.
