Hey everyone,
I am kind of dumbfounded why my RODI filters never seem to get dirty. Not that I am going to complain about it, but it is peculiar to me that these filters and DI resin which are each over 1 year old still look almost brand new. There is also a singular exhausted ring within the DI resin but 80% of it still appears to be good. What would cause only a ring within the center to exhaust like that? It’s very odd to me, when the water is turned off, the water line within the canisters is well above where this brown ring is.
My tap is about 150 TDS and it is still producing 0 TDS water and I have no weird algae issues going on so no real reason to swap the filters other than the age. The DI was last changed in Nov. 2022, and the pre filters were changed in January 2023.
My gut is telling me to just change them out because it is well overdue for DI and pre filters but they look brand new and I’m still getting 0TDS water so don’t want to throw money away. I make about 10-15 gal a week.
Looking at the current state of my 1+ year old filters, would you swap them out purely because of their age, or let it ride until they get more exhausted or I start getting 1TDS?
edit- mods, sorry for the typo in the title. It should read “swap out, or let it ride?”
