RO/DI Filters - Question

jpc763 · 07/20/2012, 11:02 AM

Hello,

I am getting back in after being out for 10 months and wanted to ask a question.

My RO/DI system is still in place and charged with water. It has been since I broke my tank down. The output is still coming out with 0 TDS.

Should I replace my filter set anyway?

Thanks in advance,

John

yes i think you better change the filter because 10 month you didnt use is a long time

Assuming your readings are correct, zero is zero. If it is still coming out zero I wouldn't change them. I would order new filters and have them on hand, but don't fix what aint broke...

I change my RO filters ever 6 months regardless of tds reading. I only go by tds for DI. I keep my DI in until reads 1ppm out of DI.
