dsoz Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Try using a carbon filter before the DI resin. It may help remove some of the smell. No, it should not smell like fish coming out of the DI portion. :( Water should be fairly pure at that point. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using DI off tap water isn't going to last long. You should always pre-treat the water with RO and then run thru the DI cartridge unless you plan on changing the media often. (or have the chemicals to regenerate DI resin) If you have a TDS meter the water should read 0 on it, make sure and rinse the container several times prior to taking a reading cause even the residue of the container/tds meter will make tds climb.
