[fishface NJ]

They are universal and just that one needs to be changed

Ok

Just that one though right? Are they universal? Or do I need to find one that fits that unit specifically?

I buy universal cartridges so should be. You can take housing with you to confirm if buying local

Just that one, just find one that has the same size ports(probably 3/8 inch) where the they screw in. Or another option is bulkreefsupply, they sell them ready to go with the water line already attached. Your water lines are 1/4 inch.

Some Home Depot and Lowes sell them too.

It is also possible that everything is plumbed correctly and that your DI cartridge has the 2 separate resins one on top of the other, rather than mixed throughout. SpectraPure silica buster DI cartridges are (or at least used to be) filled this way...

It's refillable, I refilled mine from a BRS refill kit.

Is the resin packed tightly? I still feel like your in and out are switched with the resin coloring backwards.

Yeah I couldn't pack it any tighter

It appears discolored and many come with color change feature. Your TDS and resin color will determine need

Look at first post to see his. His resin is coloring from top down and is getting 8 TDS after the resin

Then somehow your flow is backwards as many have said. You can test that by putting empty cartridge in the housing with no water in it, then letting flow start. If water comes down the outside of the canister, flow is correct. If it comes down middle, the flow is backward.

The lid to what? The resin or canister?

The lid on the resin cartridge. Screwed on right and not stripped or cross threaded?

It screws in from the bottom, it looks to be put on correctly.
