Bad day - RO unit apparently had water in it over the winter...
 

I had my 6 Stage BRS RO/DI unit in my garage over the winter in a rubbermaid tote.... not being used for the past year I assumed it was dry inside.... NOPE!! the main three canisters froze and exploded...

The only good new today... is that my two DI canisters are fine.

FML! Thats a good $300 down the drain. I just e-mailed BRS to see if they will send me some replacement canisters. But then I have to deal with their ridiculous shipping... GERRR

I don't know from BRS ro/di units, but there is a chance they use standard cartridge containers, if so you could pick up replacements at Home Depot or some such.

What size are your clear cannisters? I'm pretty sure I have a bunch of extra kicking around that I'd be happy to give you.

Haha sweet! I'll check when I get home......but one has to wonder how the heck does one aquire extra canisters?? Lol

These are the cheapest I have found.

e bay has housings for sale as well.

You can definitely replace the canisters.

Come to think of it. .. I think I have sourced at least 2 replacement cannisters from Michika when mine would have little incidents of one kind or another. Just how many of them are you sitting on ??? :lol: Not that I'm complaining because .. you know .. thank you ... and stuff ...

Is there a common size for these things?

Mine looks to be 10" X 4.5"

Sorry to hear about your incident...If you cannot find them anywhere I am sure I could order a couple for you and be here within couple days,let me know.

just go into any store that sells water filtration equipment, should be about 5 bucks or so for each housing.

one point, your membrains should be kept wet when not in use, if they dry out they will need to be replaced, so I always store my RO unit inside and full of water, but I use mine year round also.
