it shouldn't. if your on well water you may have high C02 which will cause the DI to burn out fast.

If you're blowing through DI, it has nothing to do with the waste line.How old is the membrane? Get readings from tap and before DI.

Never heard of an 80 gpd membrane, but whats your psi going into the membrane and do you have the matching flow restrictor on the waste line? Even with 600 tds you should get 10 tds or less out of the membrane as long as its a quality brand membrane

Spendy suckers lol. Do you know what your waster to good ratio is? Are you sure the new membrane is fully seated in the housing? They can be hard at times
