The ro/di system I use is a quick connect system . So I cant see the filter media. I normally have to change the sediment filter and carbon after about three or four months . At that point it just stops making water or at least very slowly. The past few months I have been replacing the filters every month, so I added another per filter stage a 1 micron filter to see if I could get a longer life out the filters. I cant believe how gross the sediment filter got after just one week of normal running . Any one else have this problem ?

Not sure if I would call it a problem, more like it's doing it's job like it should. I'm on well water and our water is @ about 0.75ppm out of the ground and my RO is @ about .02-3ppm and DI @ .05ish ppm, Change prefilters every 7-8 months an they look brownish as well.
