Long story short

Bought a 5 stage brs rodi.
Source water is private well water in rural area. Aquatec 8800 gets my pressure up to 78.
Currently my tds is 150 pre and 6 post RO.

I ran approximately 20 gallons through my di resin and it’s already competely changes color and tds now reads 4.

My water guy came today and said my ph is 6.2 and my calcite neutralize needs replaced which will be replaced next week.

Questions.

I can’t keep up with replacing my resin after 20 gallons so I need a solution.

Do you think that once my calcite neutralizer gets my ph up that my resin should preform better?

Should I just build a co2 degassing chamber no matter what?

If so what pump do you recommend to run and air stone and how big of an air stone do I need. I plan on degassing in a 20 gallon brute.

Thanks. Very upset right now after spending so much money only to make a tiny bit of ok quality water.
