Tds

[Craigar]

So just got my new toy a dual online Tds meter and new filters for my rodi system

I hooked the First TSS meter point up right after the ro setup and the second after my di. The first one after the ro is reading 4 the one after di is 0 do I need to change my membrane out?

Sounds like its fine.

 

[Craigar]

That's not relying on the di resin to much?

I think in general people dont change them unless there tds is high with new filters.

somes the longer you run it the better you get ...my ro starts at 2-3 then eventually gets to zero after a few gallons
do you back flush your membrane?

 

[Craigar]

I never have back flushed it my system doesn't have that valve on it

bulkreefsupply has a video on how to make one ...you can get the parts at home depot ....you should back flush your membrane after every use ...i tend to do it after 3-5 uses

Oh really oops

Lol, I just had mine hooked straight to the tank for over a year, never checked the TDS cuz I never had any issues.

 

[Craigar]

I never did either till recently

I have never back flushed my RO either.

back flushing isn't necessary but will make your membranes last longer
