Just purchased the 3 pack from BRS BRS 4 Stage RO Only Replacement Filter Kit
Should just put them in and do a good flush, or soak them in water over night and then do a flush?
Any tips on what people are doing with their RO/Di setup.

Put new filters in. Run it, but discard first 5 minutes of water.

When your TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter ($5) gives you readings over 3 (some will say 0, a few will wait until 5) then its time to again change your filters. Typical rule of thumb this is 6 months, but it really depends how much water you make and quality of incoming water (aka how much filtering your filters do).

This is a quality online person that both has great training and online store:
 
Thanks, I will watch the video.

After watching the video, it is important to know your system orientation, Speactrapure units the inlet for the water is on the left, on a BRS or Melev system it is on the right.
You can screw up your RO membrane if you do it backwards and that can be expensive.
