What RO media is this?

[RaeRae]

Purchased this RO unit used. And would like to know what media this is so I can change it. It’s changing colors. It’s about halfway from dark to white.

Did you buy it new or is it second hand ?

I would assume it is a mixed bed but have never seen any that changed from black to white.

I agree it may be a polishing media, and if so, you would not replace it.

Can you post a picture of the whole unit?

Secondhand. I just found it on Amazon. It actually is not color changing there’s two different medias.

It’s not color changing. I just found out through Aquagen that it’s two different medias in one and is Good up to 1500 gallons or two years

That’s exactly what it was. I was able to get a hold of Aquagen and purchase this filter. It is actually two different medias in one canister and is Good up to 1500 gallons or two years

Looks like it contains carbon and alkaline to boost ph

Thanks everyone for the help. I was able to get a hold of Aquagen. And it is actually not color changing media. It is two different medias, which is good up to 1500 gallons or two years.

I would not want that for our use. Adding alkalinty back seems like a bad idea

But you don’t want to use that media. It may not cause a problem, but it’s unnecessary.

For drinking water taste then and not DI. I would replace it with DI.
