Ya, couldn't let that one slip by... I know, it's early in the morning still out west here.

Thanks for stopping on the thread Russ! Axial flow makes a lot of sense. I noticed that CGAC cartridges were axial, but didn't register the significance of this.

Got a kit today. It is called AquaChek Select which tests for free chlorine, total chlorine, total hardness, total bromine, pH, tota alkalinity, and cyanuric acid. It was $28 for 50 test strips. I got it at a Hottub store, but had to go to three before I found a kit that would test total chlorine.

My tap water tested chlorine 0, and total chlorine 0.5-1 ppm. RODI water tested 0 for both. So, good news is no chloramines are getting through my RODI system. Maybe my system is doing just fine...

Check to see if ammonia, a byproduct of chloramine treatment, is getting through your DI.

No ammonia in the RODI water.

Great. It's that ammonia that depletes the DI resin quickly on RODI systems fed water w/ chloramines.
