 new RO membrane. Well, i let my RO membrane freeze during our move to the new house. Finally got the replacement today (1.5 years later, heh) and am immediately kicking out 17PPM water after the membrane. Tested the Meijer/culligan water and it is also 17PPM. Pretty happy so far. Started it through the DI resin and it's coming out at 115PPM. Sigh, looks like that resin is a little dirty. I'm going to leave it running for an hour and see if it gets any better, but i think it's probably time to change it out. I may just unhook the DI, since it looks like i'm already putting out water as clean as what i've been using for the last year and a half.

| Re: new RO membrane. Got home from working out. Putting out 22PPM. So, no longer a dirty DI cartridge, just spent media. Switched out the DI cartridge and immediately went to 4PPM. Let's see what it's putting out in an hour.

| Re: new RO membrane. Mine runs slower in the winter because the pipes are colder which makes the cold a bit colder. At least your TDS is 0. I need to swap out my prefilters and membrane shortly. Probably my DI resin too. It's been a while. |

| Re: new RO membrane. Still beats waiting for the water at the Meijer store!
