What is the waste water ratio for the 7-Stage 75 GPD system?

Sorry bud I don't know how they even waste water......I mean its a sealed system right so how does it loose anything at all hmmmm don't know

Take that back it does have a drain line but couldn't tell you how much its wasting I installed it for my boss and he didn't say anything about his bill going up all I know is he loves the way his water tastes and so do I crystal crystal clear

Response from 123filter.com: "Thank you for contacting us. The current drain ratio for all of our systems is 1:2 meaning that for each gallon of clean water 2 gallons go to the drain. For the systems with booster pump the drain ratio is 1:1.5 meaning that for each gallon of clean water one gallon and a half go to the drain."

Amazing...3 answers and all of them completely wrong. The question isn't for the flow rating in liters of a 50 gpd membrane, anybody with a calculator and the number 0.38 can do that. He's asking what the flow rating is for the part itself, which should be about 4 times the membrane it's meant for. Having looked up the part number, I can say it's 550 ml/min, or alternatively 209 gpd. Sorry I'm about 9 months late :)

The splitter tank is designed to run most effectively on 7 gallons more or less. I started with 5 and purged the hydraulic lines, added 2, and worked it for sometime before adding fluid to bring it up to the sight glass.

I can tell you it is double the 2.5 GPM of US limits. I timed it with a bucket. It is great!

That depends on the membrain that the R/O system uses but a typical 50 gal per day membrain is a 4 to 1 ratio. That is it wastes 4 gallons for every one that it produces. If you go to a 100 or 150 gallon per day membrain they will waste less water but they will also produce water that has a lot more disolved solids in it (less filtered). We use the standard 50 gallon per day membrains unless someone asks specifically for something else.

apparently there is a waste of water for reverse osmosis. not for the berkey system. see their website

I'm not sure on specifics but about 1 gal of good water to 4 gal waste water

I was getting 1.75 gpm at 70 foot depth , so it does abit more at shallower depths .

I am running mine on a 120 Gal. tank which is also fully planted with no problem. 2 350's on a 75 Gal. would be an overkill in my opinion.

Mine is a 4 stages, it's model 594106, it has a green cartridge (the membrane, only needs replacing every three years), so this kit is 1 blue (once a year) and 2 red and yellow(every six months) I also added an alkalizing in line finter (about 35. here on Amazon) to replace the minerals that are taken away by RO.

Brian, I apologize for the delay; Your question just came across my desk. The system is a four stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water filtration system. Stage 1 uses a sediment filter (recommended change 6 months). Stage 2 uses a carbon filter (recommended change 6 months). Stage 3 uses a membrane (recommended change 2-5 years). Stage 4 uses a carbon inline filter (recommended change 6-12 months). Please let me know if you have additional questions.The Better BuyCustomer Service

With 1 gal of treatment it usually runs out in 25-30 min. On high flow approx 15 mins. For extra info I will run clean water through a cycle to to make sure the unit will last longer and there are no future problems with the unit with corrosion or chemical buildup.

I measured .75gpm on the lowest flow that activates the unit. Ours is on the highest setting.

I just tested it with my meter and with a Brita filter in it ....The TDS....it came out 77PPM

I don't know gPh either but handles watering my garden with water turned on full blast and no issues. I am very happy with it.

The 7000 valve has a higher flow rate (35 gpm peak) over the 5600 valve (26 gpm peak), but keep in mind this is the valve alone. What size softener tank do you need? Keep in mind the most limiting part of your water softener is going to be the media bed. If you get a small or medium size softener, I would recommend the 5600sxt. If you get a large softener and need the higher flow, then I would recommend the 7000sxt. I hope this helps and if you have any questions (need help sizing?) and would like to speak to a real person, give me a call.Will 623.224.9012ABC Water Equipment The 7000 valve has a higher flow rate (35 gpm peak) over the 5600 valve (26 gpm peak), but keep in mind this is the valve alone.
