So I've found lots of posts online explaining to how disinfect/sanitize an RO unit but none really talk about the DI side. In one post a guy said he had mold in his DI cartridge (ewwww!), so I'm thinking I need to disinfect it but I want to do it right. It's a 7-stage pro BRS unit I bought six months ago and the DI unit is made up of 3 cartridges of the color-changing resins. How can I disinfect them without damaging the resins? Do I leave the resins in? Do I pour them out? (Seems like there would be a lot of funk in between them)
I also have a booster pump. In my head it doesn't make sense to sterilize everything else but not do something to clean the funk inside the pump. Any thoughts on this?
And when I put everything back together I bought some non-toxic, silicon grease for kitchen faucets -- that should be safe to lube up the seals when I screw the canisters back on, right? The BRS folks put them on so tight, I'm hoping we can get them off without breaking the canisters.
Thanks!!!
