Coralife 50GPD RO

Howdy!

I have a 3 stage RO unit I got for $50, but it seems the membrane is shot (doesn't remove contaminants to wastewater). Coralife sent me to the local distributor who wants $129 for just the membrane!

So question is, if I'm going to put any more money into this unit (it's a supplemental one, I have a good spectrapure one for the DT), I would want to get a real membrane and not an overpriced one from coralife. Does anyone know if I can substitute a real name membrane into it??

Thanks for any help. This is a 3 stage, which then will go through my separate DI stage... so I'd like it to be fairly efficient, spectrapure DI's aren't all that cheap!

Nobody has any idea?

It has a m-c1812a10 membrane in it now, which is a 10GPD one, and maybe that's why it's not working (or did coralife make a 10GPD RO?).
