Default tds meter question

i just installed my new inline tds meter and was wondering is it possable for my ro/di unit to be taking out 100% of the particles in the water??? i would suspect not... it gives me a reading of 124ppm coming into the unit and a readin of 000 coming out of the unit.

is that possable that my ro unit could be that efficient?

After I change the filters on my 5stage Aqua Clear my hand held tds reads 0. It is starting to creep up to 2 then 3 after about a month and a bit. I don't know how accurate mine is but it was recomended for mthis site it's a milwalkee.

well i agree that a reverse osmosis unit should be efficient but i thought they where like 83% efficient or sumthing like that.

My TDS inline reads 0(new filters), then will creep up as time goes on, Calgary water is not that hard to clean up.......

Mine reads zero. Mine is a RODI, so after the RO membrane is the deionizer, which basically traps any particles left in the water. Once my DI runs out, my levels are above zero.
