overhauled RO

[jhale]

yesterday I had some fun, I changed all the filters on the RO/DI,
not the RO membrane.

I wish there was a faster way to do this. Everytime I take it apart I'm afraid it's going to leak. So far so good.
I was getting some high TDS readings. It would fluctuate from 17 to 8.
This is what I like to see,

And this is what our tap water is in the city. It runs between 52 and 48 for me.

How often do you change your RO membrane,
and where do you buy your replacemnet filters? I've been getting mine from applied membranes online. Those are the filters my unit came with. Do you all have a better source?

john start a group buy for RO filters, i know everyone wants them ^^
how much do you pay for a set of filters?

I don't remember, they were all different prices. I need 6 different ones. 10 micron, 2-micron plus carbon, 1 micron plus carbon, DI resin, charcoal, and the big daddy RO membrane.

I bought enough for two changes not including an RO membrane, it was about $112.00

but that's a great idea Spykes, I'm glad you volunteered to run the group buy for the ro filters
