membrane exhausted?

[Proteus]

Just looked and it does its own backflush. I bought used so it could be three or so years old.
Also it made 400g a month for the first year I had it and 160g a month since. If I remember . Was told that making small amounts of water is harder on the membrane

Have heard that, too. Not sure if it is true. Here is my trouble shooting guide. Maybe it will give you some ideas on yours. My membrane is probably 6 years old, and still good. I bought the unit used 3 years ago, and the guy said it was 3 years old. So this one certainly lasts a long time.

I ordered a new membrane and other filters. A friend told me that chloramine is harder on membranes than chlorine and most treatment facilities have.gone the chloramine way

Brs does sell the required carbon for chloramine so time will tell

Have you confirmed that your water utility uses chloramine? If not, adding another carbon stage will not be required and will only slow down production needlessly. You should be able to contact your utility, city or whatever web site to find out what your water is treated with. They are legally required to make water quality reports public. Always a good idea to find out exactly what you're dealing with when putting together a filtration system, that way you know what you do or do not need.
