Follow-up on my Compact Reefkeeper RO/DI filter: I'm really happy with the Compact. After 5 months, the output still has 0-to-1 TDS.

I have noticed a slight decrease in water ouput -- from 3 gal per hour to 2-2.5 gph. Is there any maintenance that I should be doing, considering that I'm only using it once a week, hooked to my outdoor faucet? Of course, because it is winter, my tap water may be colder than it was in October, reducing the flow rate.
