I bought a new BRS 5 Stage RODI unit exactly one year ago. I noticed that after about 6 months my TDS went up to 1 then to 2. I changed out the sediment filter, the membrane and the DI Resin (which was still about 90% dark and only 10% gold) and the TDS went back to 0.
6 months later (and 1 year for the system) and the TDS is back to 2. I generally flush the membrane for about 2-3 minutes before and after each use.
My pressure is still steady at 80psi and the filter is not that dirty (see pic). I tested the chlorine with Insta-test and it read 0. The DI Resin is still about 90% dark (see pic).
I fill 2 32 gallon Brute barrels each week (one for RO and one to make SW) so 64 gallons per week (1,664 gallons every 6 months).
Anyone have any ideas? I really thought I would get much longer out of the system before having to change things out every 6 months. By the way, how much is too much TDS?
