Same thing happened to me when I moved from Queens to Westchester.

So, NYC water has incredibly low tds, (some of lowest in country), but high sediment / solids, needing smaller micron pre filters, less so on di.


spectrapure is what I run, so I ended up adding another canister to run both the maxicap and silica buster, along with changing my sediment filter to the zeta zorb .2 micron.

In queens I was able to run basic 4 stage with .5 micron.

In Bergen county where I am I have almost 300 tds

Yes that sounds right. Jersey has high TDS compared to NYC

I find that the DI resin gets exhausted faster,

To get my TDS to zero I'm using 2 DI resins.

Thin film composite membrane has 97-99% rejection rate. Your particle filter and carbon block take out lots before it reaches the membrane. If your going throu resin that fast you'r either making a really lot of water, or your ro/di unit is not working properly.

making lots of water
