Yikes. I typically just change mine out when I change the carbon. I tee off of my unit after the sediment and carbon for drinking water. I can tell the carbon needs to be replaced when my drinking water doesn't taste pristine.Just swapped out my sediment filter on my RODI. Last time was July 16th. Probably should have done it sooner, but it wasn't too bad till recently.

Dang. If I waited until mine were that bad, it would take a year. I change my carbon every couple of months and my sediment as well. However, they're basically white when I change them. I should probably stop doing that. I make about 300 gallons a month too.I live in Pearland and mine looks like that in less than a month. I have to change mine at least once a month. But then again, I make about 300 gallons of water a month too. Pearland water is horrible. 350 TDS on a good day.

Could you layout a blueprint of your RO/DI configuration? I'm tired of hauling around 8-9 five gallon bottles across town every few weeks to get drinking water for the family.Yikes.

Just T off right after the carbon filter, then add a line long enough to reach to where you need it and put a shut off valve at the end of it.Could you layout a blueprint of your RO/DI configuration?

Thanks for the info. I've always thought that it was after the RO membrane is where I would get my drinking water from.Just T off right after the carbon filter, then add a line long enough to reach to where you need it and put a shut off valve at the end of it.
I would personally double up on the carbon, but I guess that depends on your water source. My sediment filter lasts forever so an extra carbon makes my drinking water better, plus it helps get out more gunk to give the membrane longer life.Thanks for the info.

I have extra housing that I purchased so would you recommend doubling up on the sediment and carbon cartridges? Can I also add a sediment cartridge at the end of the line to my drinking water as I sometimes see black particles in my DI water? Not sure if its coming from the carbon or resins.
