What to do with RO/DI system while tank is down?

Sacohen · Jan 4, 2017

I'm going to be moving by April and I sold my 55 Gallon tank.
I'll set up my 90 gallon when I get settled.
What should I do with the RO/DI system while it's not being use for several months.
1) Take everything out of it an by replacement carbon, resin and member when ready to set it up?
2)Any other ways of storage?

I think that's what I'd do. Clean it out and let it be dry for a few months. Then start fresh with new filters in April.

Yeah. That's the smart move, but I really didn't want that expense when I have so many others.
The filters are probably due to be replaced anyway, even though the pressure is above 60psi and the DI resin hasn't changed color.

If you keep the filters submerged (particularly membrane) they will be fine. Install little ball valves on inlet/outlet. Flush water out plus a little extra (maybe 5 gallons) prior to using product water.
