New RO/DI unit
 
Hello all, and Merry Christmas. Hope Santa was good to everyone this year ;)

I bought an RO/DI unit a little while ago and just got it all set up and running. I was wondering how much water to run through it before using the water in my tanks? I flushed the system with around 5 gallons and have made 4 more gallons of water, but want to make sure I have good clean water before adding salt and adding it to the tanks. Should I just check the TDS to see if it's okay?

Thanks for help.

That should be plenty of water run through. TDS should be reading zero by now and your ready to go. Have fun.
Remember ro/di water is very aggressive and should only be stored in a food grade container. :)

I was thinking of storing it in Canadian Springs 5 gallon containers, since I've got a few kicking around. Thanks for the feed back tlo.

When I set mine up, I only ran 5 gal through it. Didn't have any problems.
