I have disgusting water from my tap around 5-600ppm. Use 7 stage system to get around 1-5ppm before sending to 3 stage deionization.
Got a little busy with work and lazy and let my membrane go to around 15ppm before sending to 3 stage but still sending 0 water to top off can.
Anyhow I noticed a brownish color algae start growing on my glass running like this. Also staining my filter socks with same nasty color. Ive come to conclusion that my burnt out pre-filters and membrane is in fact letting something through that has been causing this. Fixed the situation and after few days my socks aren't turning brown and the film algae is not growing any longer. Ive noticed this in the past as well but couldn't put finger on it.
From here on out ill be changing my pre-filter and membrane alot sooner. Def before 10tds or until when I see the brown overtaking the pre-filter.
Do you trust you 0 tds water?
I def feel like the burnt pre-filter where letting something through even though my top off water sits at 0 tds.
