Replacement filters are no good.
Update: 10/11/2019: The water was starting to smell and taste a bit off this week. Finally took a TDS reading. Turns out that the TDS has jumped from 0004 to 0032. The input municipal tap water's TDS is stable at 0285 PPM.<br />The original assembly which I replaced this with lasted around 6 months. It took the original assembly 6 months for the TDS to increase this much when I replaced it. I don't think I've drawn even a 100 gallons.<br />I'm disappointed. I'll have to buy something better.<br /><br />Filters arrived in only 3 or 4 days. The filters are really good and all you need is a pair of pliers to unscrew the L shaped quick connect connectors.<br />Per the instructions on the box you need tools which are not supplied plus Teflon tape which is not needed since it's got silicone o rings on all the connectors which are quick connect too.<br />I was initially frustrated when I read the instructions but it's actually quite simple.<br />Just connect them in the following order ensuring that they are not reversed. There are arrows on the filters too indicate the flow.<br />1. Sub micron sediment filter.<br />2. First carbon filter to remove chlorine.<br />3. Membrane<br />4. DI resin.<br />5. Coconut charcoal filter.<br /><br />I wish the seller would provide a few blue pull tabs for the quick connectors because they tend to slip out of fingers and fly out.<br /><br />My only complaint is that the RO filter casing is screwed on too tight and the supplied tool slips a lot. What you really need is a strap wrench.
