unless someone else has a specific recommendation of an all in one system, the reason im going with hydrologic brand is mainly because i can get filters/parts from my local shop
using the stealth 100
probly gonna go this route
booster pump->tall boy->stealth 200->uv sterilization
using the kdf filter
whatever the ppm is after that im just going to deal with it, not looking to get to zero, just want a system that is more efficient and is consistent
hydrologic is solid and plus its always good to rep ur local spot. That and say if something happens, exchange or replacement parts are a bit easier to aquire.unless someone else has a specific recommendation of an all in one system, the reason im going with hydrologic brand is mainly because i can get filters/parts from my local shop
"We have a water softener but that doesn't really help much (i realize it wont decrease ppms)."
You probably know this, but for the sake of others, water softeners add sodium. Don't use this water on your plants. So I've read, anyway.
I think that's it right there, your water pressure has to be within proper operating range. Sounds like you're on the right track now. Please do follow up and let folks know if putting the booster pump before the unit increases efficacy, and to what point, k?even with new membrane and filters (the KDF) i was still getting 190 ppm, so maybe pressure is the problem?
after this discussion im thinking of replacing the unit and adding a booster - i get anywhere from 35-50 psi right now)
I will definitely follow up. Still deciding on if I should go with the Hydrologic setup or SpectraPure - anyone else use this brand??I think that's it right there, your water pressure has to be within proper operating range.

damn, what a hard problem... I'm having a time trying to imagine what is going on. Sounds like you were still @190ppm with new membranes? I would scrap that ro system you have go get a new/improved model and if same results return it. I would expect no more than .1EC after using an RO. Mine pushes out 0 ppm. I had thought that RO's would just waste more water to get down to 0. In fact, not trying to point out obvious but, you sure you are using the correct water line out? Not waste water? Of course you are...
My well water ain't as bad but it's @575 to 600 ppm coming into the house.goes through the softener and comes out 350 to.400ppm.then it goes through my 4 stage r/o and comes out 10 to 15ppm.it sounds like the stealth does not do as good a job as my 170.00 system.i been looking at a booster pump like that one posted just to make water faster.this is what I'm running.but it sounds like you could also use a better softener because it should be cleaning the water some.mine has a pre filter to grab any large sediment first also.good luck.
