beefed up RODI is full online too, waste water goes to the backyard brutes, i have 3/50g for holding and connected together. Will use those for plants and other stuff. turns out i dont need a booster pump since my water have 50+ psi all the time. maybe add it after produce water so it pulls out water faster?
This is what I did too.I put mine right after the carbon blocks before the membranes. I wanted the long contact time with the filters

Unless I’m not understanding you, I don’t see how that would change contact time with the carbon, which is determined by flow rate not pressure. It’s the same amount of pre-membrane water flowing per unit time through the prefilter and carbon filter whether you have the booster first or between carbon and membrane. The pressure booster isn’t adding water, it’s adding pressure.I put mine right after the carbon blocks before the membranes. I wanted the long contact time with the filters

I don’t really know what the effect of having the booster after carbon would be, but all RO/DI systems are designed to be positive-pressure driven, not negative pressure driven, which that setup might do. So the boosters are designed to be used first before any filters as far as I know.
Usually directly in front of the RO stage, after carbon.Where do you place the booster

I like @Coral reefer ‘s idea; kind of a best of both worlds approach. After the first sediment filter would keep the big stuff from going through the pump but would also keep positive pressure instead of negative pressure for the other sediment and carbon filters.The reason to put it after carbon is more about keeping crud out of the booster pump.
Everything was new when I set it up, still thinking I need to replace them now ? My out put is at 0 dtsHow long? Probably ok since just flushing, but could be rough on it since likely exposed to chlorine/chloramine. Probably need to replace carbon block tho
