    What cartridges should I replace in my rodi system when detecting phosphates

    I’ve been struggling with high phosphates and it seems like my rodi water is to blame. I was wondering what cartridges I should change and what exactly the membrane filter does because I for some reason can’t find what it exactly does. I exchanged my sediment cartridge recently and that’s...

    Removing Silicates

    So I have been in a discussion with a good friend about diatoms, Dino’s and silicates. Lots of info about those things in previous threads but cause of diatoms and Dino’s not really at issue here. The basic question was if DI media dwell time had any effect on DI exhaustion rate. This was...

    RO/DI carbon clogging quickly

    Like the title says, my carbon filter seems to be clogging. I have an RODI system from BRS with a 1 micron sediment filter in the first chamber followed by two 1 micron carbon blocks. After that is a dual membrane water saver setup and the 3 stage resin saver kit. The feed in is from Y hoses...

    Do i need to change my di resin?

    I have a 5 stage rodi system and it's currently letting 8 tds through, super high, I know. But my resin looks unevenly worn. Is there a problem with my system or is this when I would normally need to change it? I thought it should all change color before needing a replacement.

    Can RODI Waste Water be used in a pond?

    So I have my RODI unit connected to a water collection tank that's never seen tap water, and was wondering if I could plumb the wastewater line of my RODI unit to a pond? The TDS of the waste water is 006 to 007 ppm, the TDS of the rain water coming out of the tank about the same. The pond is a...

    Is It A Good Or Bad Idea To Buy USED RODI Unit (Pics included)?

    So I was gonna buy a 10" standard RODI Unit but it's like $300 brand new (CAD), but I seen on my local classifieds that someone has a 4 stage (or I think it's actually a 5 stage) for under $100 (CAD) but unsure of the brand (seems like it has no name), but the person said it's practically new...

    TDS 1 but drops to 0 over time while in bin?

    So I have a mystery I cannot explain with RODI (BRS unit). My source water is less than or around 300 TDS, and the RO membrane (99% rejection rated dow) takes it down to around 6-8 before going into DI resin. After DI resin it comes down to 1 TDS. The process ate up DI resin fast compared to...

    Normal TDS & When To Change RO Filters

    I only just got a TDS meter after making about 150-200 Gallons of RO Water with the “Aquatic Life RO Buddie Three Stage Reverse Osmosis, 100-Gallon”. My tap water is reading 70ppm on the TDS and my RO is reading 4ppm. I know 0 is ideal, but does 4 mean I’ve burnt through the filters already...

    DIY Plumbed RO/DI System

    I was tired of lugging buckets of water back and forth and/or pulling out long tubing when I needed to get new water, so I ran it through the wall/attic using some PEX tubing and push connect fittings on the wall where it terminates. Also looking into adding a flow sensor to check for any leaks...

    Are bulkheads required on an ATO bucket?

    For my 25 gallon nano tank, I will have a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket to hold RODI water to feed my auto top off system. I’m using the Smart Nano ATO system, which uses a 1/4” tube to feed the pump. Do I need to bother with a bulkhead for the tube running into the bucket, or can I just punch a...
