Years later, a revelation

[Buckeye Hydro]

Very unlikely. What comes to mind are dissolved gasses - but those would not be things that would toast a tank.

Location of the tank? If it’s basement did you run a radon test or test for actual outside gasses in your home.

But my question is, with low pressure, could that let stuff through that a tds meter wouldn't detect?

Low pressure is a concern, but low flow is not necessarily a concern since an RO/DI also has low flow.

A closed tap has pressure inside close to the line pressure.

An open hose drops the pressure a lot, and limits flow.

But an open RO/DI does not drop the pressure upstream of it nearly as much since there's much less flow through it than a hose.
Do you have a pressure gauge on the RO/DI? With either new filters or no filters installed, it will tell you the pressure at the RO membrane.

No pressure gauge. Looking back now i wish i had. Tank was upstairs in the living room. A radon test was done, levels were extremely low that a radon system was not required for the home purchase.
Multiple new filters were tried, and even tried upgrading all the way to a 7 stage system, sediment filter , 2 carbon filters, ro membrane, cation di, anion di, and mixed di cartridges. Wish I had pictures it was quite the setup lol

I'm not a snake person. At all. They freak me out a little. Yet that snake looks so cool ... and so cute ... if I were to get one, that would be THE one.

That pic even, dare I say ... makes me want to hold it.

She's definitely a little sass monster. Never bitten anybody but she'll put on a hissing show for you

Cleaning products? Just unusual for multiple crashes or maybe product you’re using on yourself.

I don't use any products other than shampoo and body wash, and I had a strict no chemicals in the living room policy lol

If you got a lady. Perfume? I’m just shooting ideas at a wall at this point but never know if something clicks.

Have avg 150 TDS out of feed line, 65psi, use booster 8800 ,make water at 95 psi, 150gpd membrane,get 125 g in 24 hrs...
Always better safe than sorry, our water is the key to the reef...
gauge before unit , 3 monitors throughout, 2 on "good water" line before holding tank...

1st ya' gotta get the tank, then trick out the RO...

I want a tank again in the worst way. But we have the snake, and wife won't allow a tank again, at least not right now

Wow, won't allow? Maybe you should threaten serious gambling, womanizing, drinking, drug use instead of a new tank.
