RO/DI system HOT water... Thoughts..:(

So I the wife has been helping me lately with maintenance, which has been really nice but today she messed up... She filled around 45 gallons of water with it on full hot water....

So my question is it looks like my DI resin is almost all yellow, TDS is still reading 0, should I use the water or dump and buy new resin??

Water is probably OK.

Your RO membrane is shot. They die quick in hot water. Replace that and be ready to replace the resin as well, as soon as the TDS starts going up.
