Dr.Nate has fishy dreams
RO/DI TDS readings.....too high?
Well, I've never really had access to a TDS meter until recently....I always just changed all my filters about every 4 months to be safe.

My tap water reads 360ppm.....ouch.
I just changed all my RO filters and my DI filter too, and the TDS is 15ppm. Is this really that bad?

I was thinking I could add another DI stage at the end....I've read others doing this with success.

Any other thoughts?

If it fluctuates between 15 and 20 ppm, is this really a problem?

TIA
