Starts blue and ends white?

Not even close. This is my second. Both originally came in a darker color, definitely not blue like in the picture. The first was used up in about 75 gallons. It turned brown instead of yellow or white. Not sure what this second one will do, but for now it's looking like a tan again. I don't know why they don't match the description. Not even close. Edit: 11/18/2018 Added picture. The arrow on the tube is misleading, showing green to brown (or dark brown). You'd think the colors would change to

Didn't last as described!

Works great at first. Bought this to add to my Aquatic RO for saltwater tank water. The description says I should get about 400 gallons. I didn't even come close.

Works Great With Reverse Osmosis System

I bought this and a reverse osmosis system. I tested TDS when I first used the system. Not only was my TDS at 0, it stayed at 0 for about 6 weeks. I did another test today as the filter is showing its usage. My reading rose from 000 to 002 in just 2 months of use. I get it to use very well. I keep 5 gallons. Bucket full of RO water. I use this water not only to fill up my aquarium, but also to make coffee and I couldn't be happier. Everyone suffers from coffee makers slowing down. Well mine did
