I’ve had the 4 stage RODI system for well over a year now. Before I changed the media the TDS was reading 1 in and 0 out. After I changed it out for all 3 stages of new media it now reads 2 in and 2 out. Why is this? I tried flushing out the membrane for 10 minutes with no change. I changed the media out maybe 2 months ago. Resin hasn’t changed color but the 5 micron stage has turned dark yellow. I need help fixing this. Thanks guys

Did you pack the DI yourself or is it a prepacked cartridge?

I packed it myself and did what Ryan from BRS said and tried packing it tightly.

If you packed it yourself it may not be properly packed, and your getting bypass. Also are you sure the canister isn't damaged leading to bypass? Installed in the correct orientation?
