New RO/DI Buddy not putting out 0ppm

No way it's deleted that quickly imo. I use an ro buddy and just changed filters after way too long and never read above 0 tds. Can you post a Pic of how you routed the rodi lines to each filter? It can be a bit confusing because of the configuration (imo)

I work with piping, so reading a blueprint or a diagram is no problem for me, plus i watched the video and did it step by step with the video, but here you go. Light blue is in, dark blue is rodi,black is waste

I don't feel insulted, you're good. Just being upfront with all my info, so i can try to get a resolution. The DI resin IS brown, and i think it was black when i originally installed it on 1/9/24. Correct me if im wrong on the color, please.

My full size DI resin would only last 50 gallons prior to adding a degassing chamber to my set up.

No you're right. It looks depleted

Just quick comment, on my RO/DI Buddy I replaced the DI filter with the standard 10” DI filter. The one they provide is small and it had lot of channeling gaps etc. So I do refill them manually and pack it in.

On that system you can slowly replace all the filters for the 10” or larger carbon, sediment and add new ones or extra ones. It is ideal DIY system to experiment with.

Yes you can clearly see from the pictures the di resin is spent. It’s from co2. Do some researching on here.

Case closed.

Could it be because im running it flat instead of horizontal, as well?

How did you do it?

How did you do it?

Water goes to a vertical PVC pipe with an air stone then overflows into a container to be pumped thru the resin.
There are pictures in my build thread and you can find more info in the DIY degassing thread.
