Hey guys I notice last night that my Sediment filter was a Rusty Color or a Light Orange Color. I been meaning to get a TDS meter. Is this normal after for a 75GPD system? I've only had it for 2 months?
 
mine is getting like that too. It's dependant upon what your source water quality is like. If it's really heavy, then yeah your first stage filter will dirty up faster than if your water was cleaner.

Makes you want to go to the sink and grab a big cold glass of unfiltered water, don't it?
 
Yeah then that's pretty dirty then. Should I worry about changing it out now? Yeah I am even scared to even drink water from the sink. LOL
 
The filter is just doing what it's supposed to. Depending on use I generally replace my sediment filter every 3 months.
