check your waste/clean water ratio. I was burning through DI like crazy and i adjusted it to 4:1 and now it last forever lol
 
Heres what i got i disassembled it followed this diagram and now i dont get water out of the ATSO to go into the DI Resin ? i made sure to see it say out?

Ha lol yeah i should have asked you would of been nice to see your setup. for now seems ok but lets see how long the resin lasts

Measure the TDS of the water going into the DI resin. It should be around 4 TDS. If it's higher, your RO membrane might be need to be replaced.

well not good it started at 40 then dropped to 14 so i guess it is the membranes

Jus a question can i go with a lower gpd Membrane replacement i only have a 90 and all i do is once a week 5g water change and fill my 10g reservoir?

Yes, you can change to a different GPD membrane, but you will have to change the flow restrictor accordingly. What is your flow restrictor currently rated for?

You have to let it run a while to let the reading stabilize. Is 14 TDS the lowest it reached? Wait like 15 mins.

20-21 TDS is the reason you are burning through your DI resin so quickly. My RO/DI filter is 4 TDS input to the DI resin, and 0 TDS output from the DI resin. My DI resin lasts well over a year.

How old is your current membrane? I would get a 75 GPD membrane and also get a 75 GPD flow restrictor so you are sure it is sized appropriately.

Also make sure your pre filters are in good shape (less than a year old).
 
never replaced the membranes goin on a year and the prefilters are all new . The 550 flow restrictor should be enough right?
