Two 150gdp membranes
Go on collins water products website (where you got the r.o from) https://collinswaterproducts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=123&products_id=207&osCsid=5eddd09eff08e86a2b46169824c00725
Personally i'd order another housing and membrane and make it a 450gdp

Do i need to change all 4 filters ? Aswell as the resin or???
I dont have a clue lol
I have a booster pump and 100ltr Ibc, and i make more than enough water.

There are 5 mate
The 3 at the bottom are prefilters (changed every 3-6 months)

It doesnt look like you've changed them in a looooong time as the one on the right (in the clear housing) should be white...
The top 2 are membranes (as the link in previous post)
The prefilters protect the membrane and the more clogged they get the slower you produce water (but dont effect tds) plus they're dirt cheap mate so i buy a box of 7sets at a time
The membranes sort your tds, should be regularly flushed (turn the blue tap so your waste is fully open) to clean the surface of the membranes
If your tds isnt 0, chances are your resin needs changing
Pre filters defo need changing
Check tds after membranes to see if membranes need changing (should be at least 95% of tap water
If tds isnt 0 after D.I then resin wants changing
I'd read up on R.O's mate as it will get costly if not reasonably looked after...

Thank you very much!
I always change the resin when the water gets to 005, but recently i have been changing the resin more often so i assumed i was over due filters.
I shall order some this weekend.
Thanks again

Adam I got that system Colin's water but got the 20" filters and 450GPD good systems. I change my 3 bottom filters around 4 monthly as the three 20" filters are only about £23 that's with vat and delivery sooo cheap
Colin's water number in pic below
His name is Lee here's his mobile
You need the 10" pre filters, the membranes ontop should be changed around 5 yearly 👍

Sound mate!
The system is only around 1 year old but deffo need some filters then as they are well over due!
The water was still getting down to 001 until recently so Havnt done bad really

They done good lol !!! I find that if I don't change filters the water gets abit slower, the filters won't affect the Tds. But for £12.99 for your 3 filters you should change them every 3 to 4 months saves the life of the membranes. Good to have booster as they last longer same as resin will last longer with the booster pump.
