Mine is still chugging along with master flex pump running since 2013 or so. I just replace the RO lines every 5 years or so.

I have had no issues since you recommended it... there is a little build up on the screen, but all good!, These are great!

I ended up switching the input to the filter to a half inch push fitting hose because the quarter inch line was getting plugged up with small snail shells since that I’m having no issues yet. Good to know yours is working flawlessly:)

Ah, that is a good idea, I will do this the first time it clogs, or maybe I should do it now :) haha , (before the flood)

I am planning start AWC with my DOS. I was wondering if anyone has noticed clogging if the output line is after a matt roller? Thanks

Yes, that’s what this whole conversation is about. You can’t stop those small little snail shells from getting past your roller filter. Let me point out those small little snail shells are my filter rollers worst nightmare on top of it along with giving your auto water change system a problem.
