I accidentally ran hot water through my 3 stage RO/DI unit...Does the temperature of the water have an ill effects on the membranes?

from what i understand is that if your membrane sees temps above 45c its pretty much nuked. I am not 100% sure why but am going to try to find out. maybe someone else here knows why.

I ran hot water thru mine by mistake once and it didn't do anything to it. It was on hot for about 10 min before I noticed it. Ran cold thru after it sat for about an hour and it came back down to 10 TDS going into the DI chamber.
That was about 6 months ago and it is still sitting at 3 TDS before the DI.
