Wolfyie Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 My bf uses a DIY unit. And I realized that the fishy smell came from the water. Does anyone faces that smell issue too?

SRC Member solasido Posted April 11, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yes sometimes the resin smell foul especially after fully used (need resin change). Probably due to it has absorb all those impurity from the tab water. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member emanoids Posted April 11, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 11, 2014 The first few drops of the water stink ? no after few months of usage. i think that is the indicator that it is expired already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Aquareef123 Posted April 12, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2014 Sounds like you have anaerobic bacteria growing in your DIY RODI unit. The smell is probably hydrogen sulphide. I'm curious to know if you actually test the water using TDS meter and what is the reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameshong Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have been using RO/DI system for my drinking and water top for my tank for many years and have yet encounter any issue like your. Mind sharing What RO/DI system are you using? DIY? Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. - Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member sunny03 Posted April 12, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2014 I believed he does not use it often ... only use it when he changes water ... If you use it daily should not have the smell Quote Selling big game fishing equipment.

Steel Toe Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I do experience the same smell. It's just that I didn't use often which probably causes the smell. I just let it run for a good few sec. then test the TDS... To me it does not effect the TDS reading, It just the gas being release from the water after long storage in the my DI system.

SRC Member emanoids Posted April 12, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2014 thanks for the feedback guys! i am using rodi from madpetz. It does not affect TDS just that it is so smelly - but yes i think you are all right coz i only use it when all my rodi water reservoir is empty already and when start to use it again that is when it smells. I should let the water flow always on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
