Hey so I decided to get back into the hobby and I have a 5 stage rodi system that I used to use 6 years ago. I wanted to see if its fine to just clean it out and change all the filters and resin or should I just buy a new BRS rodi.

it should be fine to clean it and replace the filters and di resin. I let mine sit for 3 years and it was just fine after changing filters. be sure to change the ro membrane as well. you can even increase the capacity GPD by changing to a higher flow membrane an matching restrictor valve.

Might check the gaskets to make sure they haven't gotten brittle in 6 years.
