I have a 4 stage RO system which utilizes a 5 micron sediment filter, 5 micron carbon block, 1 micron carbon block and dual RO membranes (in series). The RO system is in daily use since both refriderators are connected to it. I have Lake Michigan city water and my output of my RO system is 4 TDS. The sediment filter is changed every 6 months, carbon filters at 2 years with the original RO membranes (2 1/2 years).
I noticed that recently that my auto shutoff valve was not working correctly and upon taking it apart I noticed that there was a slimy film on the diaphram. After cleaning it, the auto shutoff was working properly.
A call to the RO system manufacture (Bulk Reef Supply), they suggested replacing the RO membranes due to a biofilm build up. There is no off taste or smell to my water.
Can this biofilm build up end up in my beer? Anyone with a similar experience?
