Ok so i figured I would ask around maybe i can get some ideas.

So i bought New filters from BRS, replaced them August 30th system was working fine. with in the last two weeks the pressure dropped to 20 Psi.

I tested the pressure coming in its sitting at 60-65, i removed the filters from the canisters one at a time and filled them back up empty, the pressure never went up until the last filter was removed then the pressure shot up to 60. So I know that the filters clogged. Like i said i have had the filters just over 2 months that. I have never had this problem before i was getting 6 months or more out of a filter change. But they have been working on the plumbing in my Building so its possible they change and contaminated something. But i really want to know if there is something i can do to extend the life of my filters like adding a second filter or something so that way im not replacing all my filters every 2 months.

Thanks in advance Dan

to get more life out of your carbon blocks change out your sediments filters more often! I typically do it every 2 months depending how much water I have made! I usually make 55g a week of top up water! so yeah the my 3 sediment filters (10,5and 1 micron) are pretty shagged by then!

The plumbers working on your building could very easily have created turbidity in the plumbing that can clog your filters in one day. Maybe not. It is plausible though.

What is the last filter? What micron? I have always started with a larger micron block, and go progressively smaller down the line. I never really see a drop in pressure.
