I purchased a used vertex deluxe 100gal. RODI that came with 2 extra filters so essentially its 6 cartridges (not sure if cartridges is the proper term but im new to the rodi @ home world). I hooked it all up and when turned on I notice the drain side flows through nicely at a constant stream while the rodi water output does not. It fluctuates between a steady flow then tapers off to dripping then back to steady flow then next to nothing... As I have never had one of these before, does that mean that one of the filters (eg. carbon) needs to be replaced?

I'd also like to know what people are using if they have 6 stage rodi maker. Mine is set up for pre filter 2 carbon 2 di and the ro membrane. Do you guys use 2 different kinds of carbon filters. I've seen theres different microns available so I'm just looking to get some input before I replace all the filters.

Someone's wife sold this to me so I didn't' have the opportunity to ask questions as she was just happy to see it going lol.
