read this link it recommends changing ro membranes every 2/3 years and pre filters every three months
depending on the di vessel size will determine how often that needs refilled

mine is 196
filters been in 2 years and only changed the resin once (11 ltr)

Mine is 310 and it tastes quite good,doea mess up a kettle though. Just remember the higher TDS the beter it cleans when its 000 as it will try to return to what it was at 310.
-
Change your prefilters every 3 months. They are cheap for a set. These protect the memranes. Flush the membrane/s regularly, at least once a week and you wil get a good life out of them.

In large amounts then maybe.
But I'm sure it was much more expensive for a 5L bag I bought

547 is the higher end of what mine comes out at tap, not happy about that, normally 470/480
when with 10 inch filter I changed every month cost £3.50 for both, changed to 20 inch about £30 for 2 not changing for 10 months and see what happens, I may go back to 10 inch filters as 20 seem a rip off price.
