I have a 5 stage RO/DI system from The Filter Guys. I bought it about 6 months ago and my color changing resin has changed from completly black to completly dark orange, and I assume it needs to be changed soon. Because I live in an area that has high TDS and uses chloramine, I assumed my DI resin would be used faster than normal, even though I got their chloramine buster filters.
My question is: Will chloraine or any of its deriviatives show up on a TDS meter. Also, will Ammonia show up as TDS. The reason I ask is because I have a separate TDS meter to use to determine whether my filters need replacing, but I heard that the first substances released when the DI filter is full is chlorine and ammonia. If this is the case, I need to know whether the TDS meter is enough to check for this.
As of now, my TDS readings are:
Tap Water: ~480 TDS
RO Water: ~27 TDS
RO/DI Water: ~0 TDS
Thanks in advance to everyone for their help.
