Well, I'm finally getting around to swapping my DI stages and new DI into the last stage... Almost 6 months later!! That's awesome. I'm still reading "0" coming out but I'm seeing the bottom of the second stage changing colors. Time to swap.

I'm still getting about a TDS of 350 to 380 from the tap and 2-3 TDS out of the membrane and into the DI stages. I could not be happier at all with this unit. At 6 months I normally would be preemptively swapping out the prestages before RO membrane. It feels weird not doing it but holding off for 1 year with this larger 20" stages. I am getting 0 free/total chlorine coming out. Wish I had this system from the beginning. Not that the BRS rodi unit wasn't great but this setup is just a step above and for me is perfect.

I wish I had this system years ago. I use it all the time for just RO for many other things like a couple small freshwater tanks, reptiles, lab rinsing, etc and the speed and low TDS is perfect.

I can still absolutley 1zillion% recommend the Gapper. I am changing out DI like only once every 6 months and I'm just now preemptively changing out my carbon blocks. I'm not registering any chlorine post them but it's been over a year now and figure it's time.*


Ordered them again from Buckeye. Very impressed with the volume that has gone through this unit and its chlorine reduction capacity. So, I decided to get the chloraguard filters again even though I don't have chloramines. They have a high chlorine rating and the fact I'm still registering 0 total chlorine is awesome.*

I finally got to use this setup officially after swapping out my prefilters tonight. Worked great. Rinsed out the prefilters straight to the floor drain. No pump needed or membrane involved.

I need to remember to check the strainer next week.


TDS going in tonight was 348. Out of the membrane pre-DI was 2. Funny to say but I'm still excited over this rodi unit. Never disappoints.
