Ro/di Filter Question

[basscyn]

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I bought a slightly used RODI last spring and I should probably do a little maintenance.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Where does everyone get their replacement filters? Can you just pick them up anywhere…or is on-line the way to go?</span></span>


<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Thanks!</span></span>

You could probably find them at your LFS or Home Depot. I try not to order online opting instead to support my LFS. Besides what you pay in shipping usually overrides the online"bargain"

Can someone educate me a bit here? This is my first filter replacement. I cant find replacements like this at Home Depot.

The first chamber looks like a carbon filter, the middle could have carbon in it too, but pretty much looks like its full of a micron type paper filter. The one on the end looks like a tightly wrapped paper towel. (I am guessing its spose to be white). This is a 5 stage RODI. One stage is for taste. I was told not to use it. So I only use 4 stages. The guy gave me a little sack of membrane stuff too. its not enough to fill the chamber though. Should I replace some of it?

I found this 3 peice filter kit at Air Water and Ice.
Is this what I need?

Thanks Charlie!
You talking about Sam? That would be great!

Here is the set up. In the previous pic the canisters are laid out just as I took them off. So...the middle one is refillable? (I wondered about that)

Thanks for the help as always Charlie. I forwarded this link to Sam.
Probably head over there next week.
