no i dont yet, im gonna run this get a sample and check with a tds. and go from there. i know they are spent though. just hoping to get by with the minimum for now. what order should i replace? carbon, di resin, sediment filter. then membrane? is that the order in which they wear out the fastest?

The sediment, DI and charcoal look to be toasted. The membrane can only tested with TDS. I'd change the 3 cartridge filters and see what you get.
