The problem may be gone for now, but the conditions that caused may very well still be present.
Myka made an excellent point about your water source and I think it warrants investigation by you. I don't know what the turbidity is like in Campbell River, but I would bet there are a lot of silicates and phosphates and the like in the water... That was a pretty bad issue you had there, even with it gone I would take some time to consider why it happened and stop it before it starts again after you've potentially put more $$ into your system.

silicates and phosphates both read 0 on test kits and tap water has a tds of about 6-8ppm

the majority of tapwater will test around 100 - 200ppm. I understand that Campbell river is known for great water quality but getting 6-8 ppm is better than some RO units! you may want to have your tds meter checked and calibrated.
