In past year or so, I have been burning through a DI cartridge every 200 gallons or so. I've replaced my particle and carbon blocks twice and it's still happening. I've contact my city water people (Golden) to ask if they switched from chlorine to chloramine, and I received a very informative response about runoff and TDS and seasonal changes, but no substantial answers to my problem.
So I'm left with changing out my RO membrane, which isn't all that expensive a fix, but I'm less than convinced that's the issue. (It's been a few years, but I don't run a heck of a lot of water through that thing, maybe 500 gallons a year...? )
I have, in my absent mindedness, left the BRS RODI system in RO flush mode for extended periods of time (several hours) and have changed carbon and particulate blocks "as necessary." Still, even if the carbon was spent and the RO membrane blown out, I can't imagine burning through a DI cartridge so quickly. I can practically see it changing colors.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm perplexed.
