This i do not agree with. this would not work in series.

I assume you are suggesting taking the "good water" from the first 50% membrane and run it as the tap/source water to the 99% membrane. I don't think this would work. besides having higher waste water than a straight 4:1. i dont think you would have the pressure needed to run the second membrane.

I think this is a different subject and It is just mudding the water.
