Hi All,
I run a BRS RODI system 150 gpd water saver 5 stage + DI with 2 Chloraguard carbon blocks. My city uses a lot of chloramines (3-5ppm, total chlorine consists of predominately chloramines). Since tank set-up I have noticed around every 2-3 months I start to see some issues with corals going south. Once I rotate out the carbon blocks, things seem to perk up. I estimate that in the 2-3 months I run about 1,000G of water through the RODI, which I think should be well under the useful life of the carbon blocks.
I have been testing the product water with the Hanna ULR Total Chlorine checker and I am getting a 0ppb reading. When I test the rejection water I am getting 55ppb of total chlorine, which is making me think the carbon blocks are letting a small amount through. Why is the product water reading zero when the output water is showing some chlorine still?
Would it be worth getting the chloramine monster to improve the rejection and reduce the breakthrough?
