Air Water Ice rodi owners - quick question

[Hawkeye]

I just replaced my filters. Real simple and easy - except.

My original typhoon had a 10 micron filter, carbon, carbon and DI block then membrane.

The replacement pack had a 10 micron, 1 micron, carbon, DI.

Is my order correct? or does it go 10 micron, carbon, 1 micron DI? I would think the 1 micron block comes before carbon right? I'm probably answer this question by typing it out...lol.

I wish I knew the answer, but if nobody chimes in you could email AWI. They'll know for SURE!

If you look around their website you'll find the info posted. Walt told me years ago he recommends a
10 micron sediment filter followed by a
5 microm carbon filter followed by a
1 microm carbon filter followed by the RO membrane with the DI to polish it all off.

This is just a logical order so that the sediment gets the biggest particles, the fist carbon cuts that down to 5, the 2nd carbon means that the RO membrane won't see particles over 1 micron in size.

That's for the Typhoon III and other 5 stage RODI units.

I was just caught off guard since when I was changing out the filters - both were "blue" and the new pack had a "blue carbon" and a "yellow 1 micron".
