REPLACING RODI FILTERS

[BryantHelp]

CURRENTLY HAVE 5 STAGE 75GPD AIR WATER ICE TYPOON RODI SYSTEM THAT I BOUGHT USED.

TDS BEFORE SYSTEM IS 150TDS, AND AFTER 2-3TDS

READING THROUGH OLD THREADS I HAVE NOTICED ALOT OF MEMBER RECOMMENDING MAXCAP FILTERS. THE SYSTEM WAS USED ON A 300 GALLON FOR APPROX 1 YEAR. I AM NOTICING THAT IF I DONT ORDER FROM ONE OF THE COMPANYS WITH FREE SHIPPING IM LOOKING AT $20+ IN JUST SHIPPING. IS IT WORTH (OR EVEN POSSIBLE) TO UPGRADE THE SYSTEM WITH THIS KIT http://spectrapure.com/FILTERS-MEMB...artridge-Upgrade-Kit-for-MaxCap®-RODI-Systems.

WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO SAVE THE MOST MONEY LONG TERM?

I use the stuff from brs, I have over 500g in aquarium and use the water for cooking and tea and stuff. I changed my ro membrane at about 3 years. I usually change the di resin an additional time for each filter kit. My tds before is over 400 and always 0 after. Brs has everything you need and shipping is free.

How often do you normally change your sediment and carbon?

 

[cromag27]

Sediment gets changed every six months or when the water pressure drops 10%, whichever comes first. carbon gets changed every six months or even you have detectable chlorine, whichever comes first.

As you can see my tds is quite high, over 400; but always brought down to 0. The di resin is color changing, and when it gets pale, I just change that. Then when the next one gets pale and I see any tds at all; I mean .01. I then change all 3, I don't really keep track of gallons. I've been using the brs stuff for several years, it seems to be very high quality. Probably at about 2.5-3 years I noticed the filters not lasting as long, so I then changed the membrane and all was ok.
