As with all ro/di filters they sell a booster pump or even better a
Permeate Pump (needs no power) to increase the efficiency of your filter. All of the filters will work better (less waste water) at a higher pressure (the more water you can push through the better it filters).
The longevity of your filters is in the amount of water used and the starting TDS(amount it needs to filter). I change my filters about every 18 months when the TDS goes from 0 to about 2. using a ton of water for top-up, water changes and drinking as well as ice. So...so much for craping out...... What you need to know is a flush once in a while helps to maintain your filters.
But I bet you can buy FilmTec at Gold's.
To replace your filters....
I saw what your looking for on E-Bay but I would think there should be someplace closer.

I enjoy your sarcasm, but no, you cannot buy Filmtec's at Gold Aquariums. You actually can't buy ANY membranes at Gold Aquariums other than the sh1tty Coralife's ATM.
In anycase, I'm not going to dig up my support evidence, because, EVIDENTLY, it will probably be flat out denied.
Thx
