cloudy dark colour is telling me you need to change the prefilters, is it like very watered down coffee with little lumps of slim?

hard to explain really.. its basicly a cloudy dark water  could look like a very watered down coffee but id its more  like black particals in the water in the bottom of the housing like a suit.

do the filters change colour as well? because they seemed pritty clean

sounds to me like your carbon filter has started to break up, how old are the filters?

Ideally on smaller ro's you should change the sediment filter every month and carbon every 2 months.
