I once read a post about the use of DI only filters. The person was saying that you actually save money by filtering with on a DI chamber vs using a RO prefilter. The only problem is that I lost the thread right after it got started. Has anybody heard of this concept? Below are a few points that I remember.

Reasoning behind this was that you won't be replacing RO filters or producing any waste water.

The only downfall is replacing the DI media, but that can be purchased in bulk.

Any feedback?

Without the sediment filter, carbon blocks and membrane you would have anything and everything in your water hitting the deionizing resin. The resin can't capture particles that don't have a charge to them, in addition to be able to remove all chlorine/chloramines.

So some heavy metals, uncharged particles, chlorine/chloramine......etc would get past the DI into your water.

Of course if your incoming TDS is high, it would use up the DI extremely fast. Very costly in the long run.
