I just got a deal on a used 200gpd 7 stage rodi with pump. I'm not sure how long it was used for about 2 years. Should I replace everything, including the 2 membranes?
 
This is all the feed back needed for this thread!
By the way - the reason is - there can be bacterial issues growing in the membranes/etc - and the membrane is likely degraded in any case. Replacing them is not expensive - and it's not worth the risk of problems. By the way - I have a couple bags o RODI/and the pre-filters and carbon filters - which may fit depending on the unit you have - I am not using them - PM me if interested.

Not only change filters but clean with bleach and rinse or follow manufacturer's recommendations, I was educated about bacteria growth in them by Randy Holmes-Farley
