It either AC or DI resin... What i know is AC removes odour.. i think... make a new post maybe some RODI experts can help u out, because from what i know is that RO/DI units has Carbon, DI Resin and a membrane.... its either one u need to check...

U may also want to check ur RO/DI water strorage tank/bin. Long term of keeping water in a tank/bin may end up with a fishy smell...

sorry to hijack, anyone have experienced DI water smelling foul ?Recently my 3 stage treated DI water start smelling foul, did a search on the net and received mixed and contrasting information. Anyone had experience regarding this ?
It simply means the DI resin has exhausted. As my DIY DI unit is small, the resin gets exhausted after roughly 100L of water. The smell is like ammonia. TDS will not be at 0. I will just replace with fresh resin, and replace the water too (use for flush toilet and stuff), just to play safe. Till now, I've not even used up a third of the small $30 (3L) tub of resin. Note: My house tap water reads 90+ TDS before the treatment ( 30+ year old HDB pipes).
