Thats odd. I expected that sort of spike at turn on (and in fact, when I disable the DI stage to make RO drinking water, I usually do it before I make tank water to flush the system) but I don't get that. It's 0ppm all the time and when it hits 1 I change prefilter, and carbon (and as it happens, for my current usage, usually the DI is about done as well).

Not sure why I don't get that spike.
