Default Mighty Mite, RO/DI filter changes

have had my mighty mite unit for about 2 months and have been producing about 20 gallons a week,

all TDS tests up until this weekend produced a reading of 000, this weekend the TDS was 001

at what point do you change the filters?

thanks

Default Re: Mighty Mite, RO/DI filter changes

When your TDS starts going up, it is because your DI can't take out the remainder of the TDS after the RO membrane. This is usually caused because your DI resin is starting to get used up. I like to replace my DI resin when my TDS reads 3. As far as replacing the rest of your filters, you should go by how they look and by checking the TDS prior to and after the filter.
