MAINTENANCE  & UPGRADES

COLOR CHANGING DI RESIN 

DI resin removes the majority of elements 
that passed through the RO membrane and 
is the final water polish. It’s color indicating 
and turns from blue/black to golden brown 
from the bottom up as it depletes. Replace when cartridge 
nears complete color change (approximately 90%). Using 
DI Resin to complete exhaustion can lead to increased TDS 
in product water. The color change is an 

indicator

 of the 

depletion of DI resin and certain water parameters could 
interfere with the color changing process.
A TDS meter is a more accurate measurement of DI resin 
performance and should be used to identify when the resin 
needs to be replaced. If the system has a TDS meter, use it 
to confirm the DI resin cartridge has been exhausted. “Out” 
monitors DI resin performance and if it measures anything 
higher than zero, it’s time to replace the resin. Remove the 
cartridge from the RO canister and discard the exhausted 
resin. Reload the cartridge with fresh DI resin.

RO MEMBRANE 

The RO membrane is located in 
the white cylinder on top of the filter/RO system and should 
be replaced approximately every three years or when the 
TDS reading from the membrane product line begins to rise.

CARBON BLOCK 

BRS Universal Carbon Blocks were developed to 
be the best industry solution for chloramine and 
chlorine removal, as well as well water treatment. 
The 1 micron block represents the latest in carbon 
technology with increased surface area, volume of 
carbon and catalytic sites within the carbon’s pore 
network. Increased volume and surface area can 
provide chloramine removal from source water up to 3,500 
gallons, and chlorine removal from up to 35,000 gallons of 
water. Replace every six months or as needed based on 
chlorine break-through. The periodic use of a chlorine test 
is recommended.

SEDIMENT FILTER 

Sediment filters should be changed when clogged 
with dirt and sediment. Identify when it’s exhausted 
by monitoring the water pressure feeding the 
membrane. As the filter gets clogged, it reduces the 
pressure feeding the membrane and reduces system 
performance. 
For systems that don’t include a pressure gauge, 
change every six months, or when the filter is visibly dirty 
and there is a noticeable drop in water production.

FILTER MAINTENANCE 

Filter life depends on many different factors including the volume of water production and quality of the source water.

TDS METER

Verify the purity of 
water, and measure 
membrane and DI 
resin performance 
through the measurement of total 
dissolved solids (TDS) of the water at 
specific points in the RO/DI System.

(SKU 200031)
 
 

PRESSURE GAUGE

This handy gauge provides 
visibility of one of the most 
critical components of RO 
membrane performance. It is 
important to maintain proper 
operating pressure, and a drop in 
pressure can indicate that it’s time to 
change out clogged filters.

MEMBRANE FLUSH VALVE 

The Membrane Flush Valve 
has an integrated 
flow restrictor 
with a bypass valve and provides a 
convenient way to manually flush the 
membrane. Regular use helps to rinse 
the membrane of impurity buildup and 
may extend the life of the membrane.
