as been said could be a lower quality membrane..or you could take tds readings from each indvidual membrane as there may be a faulty one this has happened to me once in the past..or it may settle down although you would of thought it would have by now depending on how much water you use a week..

When you replace membranes you need to be sure the new ones are properly seated in the housing seals, or water will escape around them and then you get untreated water contaminating the pure.

This could be your problem
