![]() You'll need a 5 micron filter and carbon filter. I think mine runs 5micron/carbon/5micron (or even a 1 micron)/RO/DI but I originally got some sort of "coconut" filters for the secondary 5 micron. As long as you have some sort of particulate filter and a carbon before your RO you're fine.
Depending on your water quality your RO can last a few years. I changed out mine last year after running it for almost 4 years. The water wasn't bad coming out of it, I just thought it was time and they were on sale.

![]() No problem. Oh and I'm not sure about the ones at Rona or Home Depot. You can always take in one of the canisters with you and see if they fit, the only thing you really need to be worried about is the length. I think theyr'e all fairly standard though but you never know.

![]() In my unit I run 30 micron, 10 micron, 1 micron, Carbon, RO, DI --- into buckets
I get some pretty crappy treated lake water here, and the 30 micron is dark brown before the next two are light yellow!

![]() If we arent sure about the Rona filters, where is the best place to buy new filters?
Is there any type of filters I should stay away from? like carbon etc? Is there a place locally to purchase DI resin? Thanks
