How often do you replace RODI filter media?

The industry standard is that you should be able to see a PSI drop if the carbon and/or sediment filters are at capacity and needing to be changed. 5 PSI is a good initial drop. There are time recommendations from every single RODI supplier, but quite frankly I have found that it really depends on HOW MUCH water is being filtered in total during the span of a month. If you aren't using it every day, then I don't believe using a timeframe is worthwhile unless you're finding your TDS to correspond with that same timeframe.
 
That’s some good water! We’re area are you in?

Vancouver Canada. They also dont use
chloramine either.

It can at times go below 10 but 10 to 14 is my norm from my tap.

refer to the "chlorine capacity" rating on the carbon block, and assume exhaustion at 50% of that. If your vendor doesn't supply that spec, might want to find a new vendor.
