Rodi brown risen

[XTDRAGON]

Hey Fellow Reefers,
So I have a question, I have that famous RO Buddy that comes with the 4th stage "Risen". Over time it has turned brown and since money is a little tight, I want to extend the life of the Brown Risen, How long would you say I can extend the life of the Risen?
-Cheers!

Get aTDS meter like this:
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/162702770556

If your TDS gets above 3, don't milk that resin any longer. Ro buddy filters are cheap and not worth compromising the health of your tank to save a few bucks.

Good stuff ^

Will go a step further and say that if your resin is taking out lots of tds, it will not last as long and since it is costly you should investigate. Disconnect water line from resin input, and measure tds from membrane product output. It should be removing at least 95% of tap water tds at that point. If it's not than time to change filters, maybe membrane too.

Ah, I do have a meter, But For some odd reason, the results I'm getting don't satisfy my curiosity, I guess I am just being a bit too OCD. Thank You for your advice.
