Has anyone tried using the “Coralife Pure-Flo II DI Cartridges”?
I picked one up at my LFS & I noticed that even after running about 5 gallons through it the water looked yellow? When I checked the TDS it read 25! My TDS after my membrane is only 3 so that means that the DI filter was adding TDS to the water? I took it back to the LFS that I got it from & they stated that it was treated with some type of preservative & that I needed to run about 100 gallons through it too rinse the preservative out?

That just doesn’t sound right to me?
