So I know they say 3-5 years on a membrane, and I am coming up on the 5 year mark, but it's still producing at 2-3 ppm pre-DI resin. Thoughts?

I added a pic of the whole setup since we are on a well with high iron-bac and manganese. So we have 2 spin downs, followed by a 50 micron pleated, then green sand, salt softener before hitting any other plumbing to protect the house plumbing. The RO/DI has 25 micron, 5 micron, 1 micron, carbon block prior to the membrane. (No DI resin in at the time of the pic.)

No chlorine, etc to worry about.
