Coconut carbon without the copper Kdf is what I use
https://collinswaterproducts.co.uk/...d=183&osCsid=a8f781ece97cea08a3e13a86a772fb39
Collins water product now make there own last stage cartridge so I gave them a call and asked for just coconut carbon
The copper probably won't do any harm as I was running my tank for 2 years before I found out what it had in it
But I did have the Kdf in the middle chamber with the normal carbon block at the last stage so it may have been removing the copper
Been running without Kdf for over a year now with no problems
I'm not a scientist so can't answer the tech stuff all I know is what works and what doesn't
What is the crb2-10

Oooops I have been posting in the wrong thread
Anyway
If you are running 2 x di resin cartridges then you must have 0 tds
If this is the case its like running pure ro into the tank which I thought was unsafe
Does anyone else run pure ro on a drip and is it safe long term
The ph must be very unstable due to the low gh and kh
I have just added the di resin chamber so give it a go
I may put a bye pass on my HMA di unit and run the drip for 1 day with di and 1 day just HMA this should put the minerals back in

How do you battle the low hardness issues? I am installing a drip system for a new setup and I am wondering if I will have to drip buffer in too.

right this is what i done
water into HMA water out of the HMA to a T then flow tap on one pipe then back to the tank
the other pipe on the T i took to a di resin chamber then a flow tap then back to the tank
i have 2 drip pipes in the tank the blue one goes to the di resin with 0ppm tda the other pipe is white which come right from the HMA
at the moment i am running it 50 50 so the flow from both pipes is even this will keep the gh and kh buffed and add minerals
you could do this with pure RO to cut down costs on the di resin
getting the balance right may take a bit of messing around but it wont be a problem

rght
running di resin on its own is a bit of a waste of time even with 2 chambers
i have been running mine about a week and its nearly done so running 2 will give you 2 weeks max before it needs to be changed so it will cost a fortune to run just di
next thing to try for me is to use the T as stated above but this time i will run a 150gpd RO unit then di and a secont drip just from the hma this may or may not work as im not sure if i will be able to get enough presure to run the RO and a drip from HMA off the same tap
its all fun and games
will let you know how i get on next weekend

There is quite a lot of waist water with an rodi
