    Ahhhh My Filter

    about an hour ago i started to make topoff water with my RO/DI. Went back 5 mins ago to discover that I somehow turned the hot tap on, instead of the cold. So my RO membrane is pretty much gone right? Considering there was more RO water than waste water, it seems the hot water ate right through. So, is there anything else i need to replace? DI cartridge maybe? IDK, help me out here guys.

    How hot is your water?

    Before I'd give up on the RO membrane, run some normal temp water through it and see what the output water is like. At something like $80 plus for the RO membrane, you want to be sure it's actually damaged.

    I love my TDS meter

    HM Digital In-line Dual TDS Meter (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Reverse Osmosis > Purity Monitors )

    It takes out all the guesswork of when I need to replace filters

    especially when I do something stupid
