r/o units

not sure on your system! is it a refillable cartrdge or a DI resin cartrdge itself? Shoot a pic of it! guessing its not! but the refillable cartrdge is only $8 plus $11 for resin!

 

there ya go. i think it might be because i bought it off of someone on craigslist and it looks like there is plumbers tape around the seals

 

OK the RODI experts on here are gonna kill it because the DI chamber is horizontal! but it look slike the resin is still good! Is it 2 distinct colors? sorry bad eyes! get a TDS meter ($20) to make sure its working alright!

 

Not al DI resin is color changing. A TDS meter is the only accurate way to tell resin condition.
A standard RO or RO/DI has a 4:1 waste ratio. There is only one proven low waste 1:1 system on the market today that actually works well and lasts but it is not cheap due to ist unique components like a microprocessor, booster pump and solenoid valves. There are others who claim low waste but the flush the syetm with tap water, not stored DI water and will fail prematurely guaranteed. Manufacturers and vendors have been studying this for years and it it not as easy as stacking two membranes together or reducing the waste ratio. It all comes down the the fact tham membranes must be flushed, there is no getting around it.

I am at 4:1 if not more, I am using well water with tons of limestone and who knows what else. I can't drink it from the faucet, my DL/RO unit is used for all potable water. sux
