I have a veeery old brs rodi. I really need replacement filters but don't know what to buy! I last bought replacements, well, a long time ago. And I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to this. Can someone link me to a good one on Amazon or something to replace all of it, even the membrane?

For the record, I just sent brs an email too. Lol time to stop whimping out!

If yours is a 5 stage like mine then you run 1 sediment filter, 2 carbon block filters, membrane, then DI resin. You'll want at least 1 micron sediment & carbon block filters. 75 or 100 gpd Dow membrane and some quality DI resin (I use BRS color change). Make sure you disinfect the unit and flush each filter when setting it back up. @AZDesertRat has instructions on here on the steps to take to do that if you do a search.
 
I'd totally go for spectrapure but that's where the what do I buy part gets so so confusing!
 
Wholly price shock! Lol. Will those filters work the the pack in type of di resin holder that comes with the bra system?


I'm totally leaving that autocorrect. Brs is what it's supposed to say lol
 
So I'm done! Here's a pic of what I replaced. Spectrapure

Gross! Lol. Now I'm getting my 75+ gpd like I'm supposed to. And I live where there's a lot of iron in the water.
