New Di and carbon filters locally?

[Crackem]

Where can I buy new RO filters? Need Di for sure but not sure if I need carbon. Is it best to change them at same time?
Where I can buy them, what's closest place to aventura?
Also do I need to flush them or do anything to them before I use them?

Thank You

Ive seen the Dr. G's filters locally. But they were on the $$ if I recall correctly. I've also seen filters at Home Depot. But check the micron ratings before purchasing.

I ended up getting them at fish paradise. It's the closest store to me and they usually have a good supply of spare parts. Carbon was 9.99 and Di was 29.99 , does that sound right? I thought I paid more last time I replaced them.

A lot of people myself included order from Brs, air water and ice, buckeye feld supply, etc. just go to their website to compare prices. Most of them sell the filters in "packs" based on the # of stages you have and whether your city uses chloramine.
