Yes but I think rastaangle was looking for an alternitive to check DI resin as mentioned their collecting the RO/DI water in the same container as mixing salt in therefore not getting a proper reading on the tds meter. Try collecting a sample in a clean container then doing a tds check on it to do it properly.
