Do i really need to replace the R/O membrane ?????

Hey guys,

My tank has been dissassembled for the better part of 8 months now. I've recently gotten the bug to set up my 120 again and upon filling a 35 gal container of R/O water, I noticed that it was taking a lot longer to fill than it used to. It took me 4 days to fill the container.

When I called Marine Depot they mentioned that my membrane probably dried out and that I need to replace it (AT A PRICE OF $90). Before I fork over the money, I just wanted to see if there were any other less expensive options before I coughed up the money.

nope if the membrain dried out then you will have to replace it, but 90 dollars is very steep IMO. check filterguys, purelyh2o, spectrapure, for membrains and you will find them cheaper. but it would be wise to replace all the filters all at once anyway to be more safer.

Don't pay $90. How many GPD is your current unit? You may be able to upgrade the membrane for half that.
