RODI filter

I have a RODI filter that has been sitting dry for over two years. Is it ok to use or does the membrane need to be replaced? It is a Coralife if that matters.

I would replace all filters. Definitely no good if it sat dry.

Yes, replace all filters and get a new membrane.

Additionally, you'll want to sanitize the system before you put the new filters in it, and lube the orings on each housing including the RO membrane housing.
