Reef Pilot - thanks for the info on Langley water. I just moved here in December and am amazed at how quickly my RO/DI unit got dirty. I could go over a year on Vancouver Island without giving the unit a second thought. I don't have an inline TDS meter but think I'm going to have to spring for one.

Usually my sediment filter lasts 6 - 8 months before I change it, but this time only about 4 months, and it was really dirty. Not sure why, as I never noticed anything different with the tap water.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Just tested my tap water, and it is at 67 right now, so a bit on the high side.
