Pipe burst right above me in my condo and had water leak almost to my doorway. Same equivalent of water leaked into my shower as well as window leading into the living space. Repairs have begun.
I have a feeling the “debate” was a bit of a stretch, to promote their (at the time) new filter.I didn’t even know there was a debate. It is pretty easy to determine when chloramine is present and when it is not and in what ratios as BRS shows with the amazing performance of their filters. As was pointed out, anything that makes it past the carbon gets picked up by DI. I may add a third stage of mixed resin.
So I’m running 1 micron melt blown filters to catch my sediment, is it necessary you think to run the smaller micron pleated filter? Interested in this silica buster can you post a link or details? Thanks, sorry about your water situation I would have gladly donated since I have not had any outage since this all started and they never issued a boil warning for my area...

Thanks so much for putting the school of RODI into session @mittens [emoji851] I can’t wait to implement some of that.
So, do you regularly use the 0.35 micron pleated sf or the $7 BRS one? Planning on revamping my system and the info you shared is very helpfulThe smaller the micron the more junk your sediment filters catch. You don’t need the zetazorb, I just like the extra function. You can just stick in two different sediments with different microns, the smaller the micron the better. Sediments are the cheapest filters to replace, which is also why I replace those most frequent. If the first one starts turning a little brown I replace with a new one. They’re $7 at brs.

What keep going around in my mind is that the TDS in the water column are not presented in uniform size distribution. If we look and say 1μ particles make up 50% of the total TDS 30% of TDS are 0.5μ and the rest are 0.2μ or below. now we put in a .0.35μ filter as the primary stage, it will get start doing its thing the problem however, is that 1μ particles are filling and clogging the filter pores reducing the efficacy of the filter. A 1μ filter as the primary filter can get rid of 50% of TDS leaving downline filters to retain their effectiveness much longer. in other words, i have a feeling that .035μ is way to small as a primary. in a setup as elaborate as your, I would consider 1 additional "pre" filter cartridge to start with 1 - .05μ
Yup we do the same thing in industrial applications 10 micron 5 micron 1 micro 1 micro absolute. That’s as small as we go though. The melt blown filters we use are far cheaper than pleated or spiral wound filters so that’s what we use.
