so I just change the filters to my Aqua Fx Barracuda.

It’s a 4 stage unit. Been getting 0 tds but today I was getting 0-1 TDS after DI. DI looked exhausted so I change them all out. Sediment, carbon, and DI resin all changed

Only the RO membrane is not changed.

After flushing and running it for 5-10 minutes I am getting 2 tds and sometimes even 3 after DI. It has dual tds meters with pressure gauge . Getting 63 psi so I’m good there. Reading before DI is 7-8 ... but after DI is still 2.

Is it my RO membrane? I just ordered a new membrane , but it won’t be until here till middle of the week or so.

Just mixed enough for Sunday’s weekly WC and ato reservoir has enough to hold me.

Took apart the DI Resin chamber and didn’t see anything amiss. Put it back together and flushed it again. Kept it running for another 10 minutes and now I’m getting 0 tds. Guess it needed some flushing and run time on this set . My other set was good to go in 5 minutes
