It's possible the filters were not changed in time, the chlorine that makes it to the RO membrane will damage it in no time at all. Just a sniff is all it takes.
Measure TDS before and after RO membrane.
FORMULA= (TDS Input - TDS output)/output X 100.
Eg,
(tap water reads 450ppm TDS, and Reverse Osmosis filtered water reads 15ppm.
450-15=435
435/450=.966
.966*100=96.6%
So, my reverse osmosis is running at 96.6% TDS reduction.)
That will tell you if your membrane is kapoot. Three days is far too long!
I installed a meter to check, if you use a lot of water I would suggest one. I use the RO-man system and I get through the 3000 gal CCB in 8-10 weeks, that's miles away from six months! I upgraded to longer life high capacity filters, this comes with problems though, so I don't recommend it unless you know what you are doing. They should last me 12 months, or near enough. It's my first time with them, they are only 1 month old, we shall see?
A full account can be found on my flickr profile, sets, my fish house, it's the last few pictures within that set. (the ones with RO units in them!) a shorter version is available in my fish house link.
