All,
I was reading the Carwash College RO maintenance article in PC&D online at http://www.carwash.com/enewsarticle.asp?ArticleID=623
I have one machine (for SS) that is 5 years old and I replace the 5 micron filter and the carbon filter every six months. The other machine (for IBA) is 2 years old, came with it's own carbon tank and I replace the 5 micron filter monthly (use a lot more SF water in the IBA).
A few statements surprised me. First was that a membrane should last 2 to 5 years and the second was to replace my big carbon tank annually.
It was my understanding that if properly maintained, membranes could last a decade and I figured with the size of my carbon tank, I could get 5 years out of it.
What are you guys experiencing?
