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.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?

  • I have used a HOB on fish only or quarantine tanks, but not on the display tank.
