Also if your unit has a back flush- you should do it for 30 mins or so.

300 TDS is really high. If you're in the lower mainland you should be at 8-20 TDS right out of the tap.

1) sediment
2) carbon
3) RO membrane
4) DI

The tabs on my Sedra pump for my skimmer broke about 3 years ago. Figured, if it died, it died and would replace it then.
