Converting a Leader Micro2 back to a single post

[heus]

I am interested in either eliminating the second post from my Micro2 or plumbing it in such a way that I can use it as either a 1 or 2 post depending on the amount of sap I have available. Does anyone have any good close up pics of their Micro1 or the instructions from the upgrade kit when going from 1 to 2 posts?

Sorry, but I don't. Just a guess, but here goes-
It seems there are 2 ways it might be plumbed now, 2 in series or 2 in parallel. If in series (my guess) just add a line as a bypass between 1 & 2, then put a 3 way valve where you split the two, after you bypass the 2, T back into the line after the second membrane, have a std valve just before the T. Both concentrate and permeate will need this.
If in parallel, just add a valve in each line, concentrate and permeate to exclude the second membrane when desired.
Regardless of how you run it, I think it advisable to was it as a 2 tower unit.

I contacted Leader and they sent me the directions for the add on kit. I can use that and work backwards.

Jason - curious as to why you would want to go to a single post? This RO stuff is still new to me. Thanks

John I probably wont have many taps. Just concerned that I wont have enough permeate water to wash and rinse. Either way it will be ok I just may have to save up sap for an extra day that's all. (Or save permeate water on days with lots of sap).

Jason, now I get it. Been reading up on RO’s and too much capacity can be a problem when it comes time to clean.
Hope the leader manual is helpful...most are fairly vague.
