Does anybody do this? I don’t mean a full RO set up, just a carbon filter. If so does it make much difference to the life of the resin? Thanks

Prefilters are mainly to protect the membranes by stripping the likes of chlorine out of the water.
Many who use them, or Atleast a good number use Gardiner fibre dyne (? Not sure on spelling) instead of two carbon blocks or to act as a sediment plus carbon block

The sediment filter protects the carbon filter as it would clog very quickly with sediment, the carbon filter protects the RO membrane from chlorine.
I don't think chlorine effects DI resin so you may be wasting your money.

I still use a sediment and a fiber dyne but fi erdynes are sediment plus carbon in one

Yes stick a small amount of paper around the carbon and treble the price, money for old rope.

Thats not how fibredyne filters work at all , they also have at lest treble the capacity of standard carbon filters of the same size .

Its the amount of carbon that determines how long they last, if the fibredyne filters where three times the weight which would mean having three times the amount of carbon then you would have a point, but they don't.

I wouldn't bother with fiberdynes, rip off!!
