Changed out the carbon and RO, but didn't grab the prefilter. I'm running the unit anyway to flush the RO membrane, already tds dropped to 3 within minutes. Will grab the prefilter hopefully tomorrow.
Will not let it get this high again.

When my RO water started to smell of chlorine, I immediately changed both my filters ... pre-filter and carbon filter I saw no change in my chlorine smell after new filters ... I was trying to finish my post before it got wiped out  You can get up to 6 months out of a carbon filter, and 3 years from a RO filter It all depends on your usage ....

So, here's what I've learned ....
You get 3 months out of of your pre-filter, 3 months from your next stage, 6 months out of your carbon filter, and 1-3 years out of your RO membrane (depending who you talk to) Good thing lots of members give us lots of information so we can gauge our filters .... When your RO filter turns brown, you should change it; When pre-filter turns brown, it's time to change it When a Carbon filter turns black, it's well over-due C'mon, don't ask when an RO membrane is past due ....

Most important is making sure you back flush your membrane weekly. My last one got neglected and when I opened the membrane, it was full of crud. Just disgusting!
Without flushing, you seriously reduce useability and lifespan.

Did I miss something here??
Bottom line, my filters were dirty, I've been running it for about a year and hadn't changed anything out. My bad! Now I know when to change out and will be more diligent. The RO membrane probably didn't need to be changed but I did anyway, it still looked in good shape.
