I have some trouble with my RO system. I just put a new 0.5mic sediment filter, and then two 0.5mic carbon filters, next is the color changing DI resin. I have about 10 months old SPECTRAPURE SPECTRA SELECT PLUS 99 PERCENT REJECTION 90-GPD MEMBRANE.
After putting in the new filter, the tds was 0, but not even 5 gal of water in a bucket and tds was back to 300ppm, my tap water is 308. What is wrong with my ro filter? Is the membrane bad already and it caused DI resin to go bad so fast. The DI resin already changed color to golden- brown. The water flow is rather fast. Should I get a new unit? Or how can I fix it?

Check your:
1. PSI
2. Make sure flow restricter is still in place and didn't fall out or get moved
3. Do you have a flush valve and is it open?
4. Is the TDS Meter hooked up correctly? Did it get wet/damaged?
