Try measuring your TDS at various points during the filtration process (e.g. from tap, after pre-filters, after RO etc) to get a real idea of performance. With our low TDS water in GVRD, your TDS measurements post-DI will measure 1 for decades, but that doesn't mean your filters are OK.

I would definitely change the pre-filters after that bout of super turbid water we had in November. My prefilters were nasty after that episode.

that makes sense...so then if you can't use TDS as a guage, what can you use? and how often should you change the membrane? TDS outta the tap here is only 012ppm as it is.

that offer for splitting the filters and resin still stands if there's any takers.

Darryl - I'm up for it! I sure don't need that much, so any savings would be bueno!!

I'm in Surrey and I have reason enough to bother Anthony to get the stuff
