Post a pic of you sediment filters
Hey guys I thought it would be fun to see how dirty some people's water is in their city with pictures of our sediment filters on our RO-DI. Post pic and approximately how long you have had it and for how many Gallons of filtered water it has made.
Here is mine I have had it for 6 months Approximately 1300 Gallons City water at 423 TDS |

While i dont have a pic of mine right now it looks as bad as yours within 3 months with tds of tap at 534ppm. Our pipes are horriable, we leave for a weekend and when we get back we have to let the water run for a couple min as it is a rust color when first comeing out

Yeah it sucks, we just redid our house with pex but its the lines from the street to the house that are bad and that would cost a pretty penny to fix.

Mine discolors quickly - not from sediment, but because of very high iron levels in well water.

Umm ok I don't feel so bad now. Well water at 270 before sediment filter in over 6 months and bright white. There is a sediment filter at the well however that looks pretty bad and is replaced every three.
