To me the convenience is worth it even if it cost me an extra $100 per year in membrane and resin to do it with a solenoid.

Have you been testing the water regularly to see if it has still been working as effectively as it should? Everything I've researched has people saying that the membranes wear out faster.

I constantly monitor with a tds meter plumbed in on both sides of the DI resin. I'm sure it probably does wear out the membrane a little quicker. I guess the question is whether the convenience is worth it for a little bit of added expense.
