My water is 350ppm hard water i want to replace my three pre filters with a 10" FIBREDYNE CFB PLUS SEDIMENT/CARBON PRE-FILTER JUMBO but i'm not sure if their is another filter needed.
Thanks Paul

What problems are you getting that's causing you to change what you have ?

No issues they just needed changing so its a good time to up grade to what seems a betters product

Better at doing what ? you do realise that pre filters do nothing other than protect the RO membrane so unless your having problems or changing to a cheaper option which I very much doubt then your just burning money.
High tap TDS will make no difference to the lifespan of your carbon block as this is for removing chlorine which is added to all
our water at around the same levels.
High tap TDS might also mean higher sediment levels but you will know when these filters need changed as they get blocked
and slow water production.

Hey.
I have had a Brodex systems for the last 6 years. When I initially used it, it only has a space for 1 prefilter. Either carbon or sediment. But had trouble with ro membranes not lasting. I went through 2 in 2 years at one stage. But then swapped over to the fibredine pre filters, changed when the water production starts to drop. It is recommended after so many 1000 litres but I don't measure, as I say, just look out for when the pure water drops which is about 5 months.
Since using the one fibredine the system works really well. Latest RO over two years old and running superb no sign of failing so the fibredine is doing its job protecting the ro from chlorine.
Fibredine are brilliant.

For future reference here's how it works, A carbon filter will protect the RO membrane from chlorine and sediment but will get blocked very quickly with sediment so if you want to get the best from your carbon filter you protect it with a sediment filter.
So the sediment protects the carbon and the carbon protects the RO, what make you use is up to the individual but they all
do the job equally as long as your buying them from a reputable seller.
Personally I find that the Fiberdyne filters work out expensive compared to other makes but in your case because of only one
space it would be the best option.
Never forget your protecting the money invested in the membrane so don't end up spending more than the price of a new
membrane to protect it, believe it or not there are people who do.

Get what you mean.
I'm personally happy if the RO lasts 2 years plus. Fibredine work out to be about 90p per week. I went through a period when 2 membranes went within 10 months of each other, £450 in less than 2 years on membranes. Did my head in trying to make the RO last. With the fibredine, they just do the job. No more worries.
