RO/DI Membrane

Hey,
I was in the market for a membrane and was wanting to upgrade from a 75gpd membrane to a 100gpd membrane, is that possible or do you have to get the same gpd rate on the new membrane?

Thanks,
asaleem91

You need to make sure it will fit your membrane housing, and the flow restrictor must be matched to the membrane.

You can switch from a 75 to a 100. What brand of system or membrane do you have now?

Realize that when you go from a 75 to a 100 gpd membrane you'll get a bit more water from the membrane but the rejection rate of the 100 gpd is about 6 to 8 % less than the 75 gpd.

If you need more production and you want to stick with the high rejection we have a 150 gpd membrane w/ a 98% rejection.
