I have both an inline TDS meter and a nice handheld COM100 TDS meter. The inline is hooked up before / after the DI cartridge, and as soon as I start seeing 1 or 2 TDS, I replace all filters. The in-lines are great for quick looks, but times it's read 2 or 3 on the in-line, the handheld COM100 will read 7 or whatever. Problem with handhelds is that they can get tossed in a drawer and forgotten, so I'd definitely recommend having inline meters as well. My filters (carbon, micro sediment, and DI) usually last me on the order of 6 - 8 months, and if I need to change one, I'll just save a headache and change them all. The membrane, however, is a different story. Mine is still going strong, though I do have a flush valve which I use for 30 seconds to 1 minute before AND after making water, every time. stonyreefs last blog post..<a href="http://stonyreef.com/blog/2008/decisions-or-fluke-tabs-and-sad-clowns/" rel="nofollow">Decisions… or, Fluke Tabs and Sad Clowns?</a> Nice read.
