I've been averaging every 6 months. All micron filters(3) and di. The membrane should last 2-3 years. I make an average of 350 gallons in 4 weeks.

Thanks for the reply. So do you clean them every 6 months or change them completely?

I change the microns and empty/refill the di. Save yourself the money and buy the six pack and 5lb bag of di when your ready to replace.
I'm lucky enough to live within 20min of Airwaterice

What do you do with the waste water ? I use bottled jugs of culligan for my water cooler and also use buckets I fill up at wal-mart as well with culligann water and it is seriously turning into a huge hassle. 2 times a week for 30 gals a trip we drink a lot of water and with three of us and friends etc go thru about 5 gal a day or a little less so I thought it would be good for that as well but it does not seem like it.

I just went downstairs to find that the spout by the DI cartrige was broken clean in half!
I dont know how it happened because it wasnt be who broke it. Is there anything I can order to fix this without having to order a whole new unit? Its the piece where the ro/di water comes out.

That fitting is removable. Home Depot should have the exact fitting. 1/4" male thread 90 to 1/4" push connect.

It does 1 gallon clean 5 waste and I just can not see doing that..
I think I remember the typhoon three does 1 to 2 or is it better than that ??
My typhoon3 does about 1:5 on my water. Water at my house is about 1 cent per gallon ($1 per 100 gals). So that equates to about 5 cents per gallon.
Go buy "pure" water at ANY store for 5 cents per gallon.
Yea, I know - You have to figure in the cost of the unit too. Still yet.
I've had my T3 for over 2 years and I have yet to clean/change the filters. It still produces pure (0) water.

Got the overpayment returned to me shew I thought I was buying two of them for a minute there. BOB and Dan are great to talk too they help with anything and got it taken care of ASAP.
I got it installed it is running thru the cold water outlet on my wash machine as I have it y'ed to the overflow so everything can run at the same time.
The psi is right at 70 the temp I am unsure of.
This thing is awesome it came with a portable TDS meter so I been testing everything. My bottled culligan water was 2 TDS and my tap was 188. The water coming thru the ro/DI is 0.
I am like a kid on x-mas filling water jugs and my trash can for my W/C
I am getting 5 gal of pure water every 50 minutes. I am thinking about adding a diaphragm pump and another membrane to be able to cut down on waste water. anyone else try this ?
