Post TDS readings

[DanG]

20's is very high. When I set up my aquasafe, my water in was 65ppm and was coming out between 0 and 1.
What is your in tds reading?

I find that I need to flush about 6-10 gallons of RO water through after replacing the filters to get the TDS back down to 1-2.

Have the Aquasafe as well and get 2-4 TDS. Check through the instructions though, there's something about when first setting up you'll get a high TDS from the carbon filter until you run it for a while.

My water going in was about 170-190, and my filtered read .01.

Question, my Di media was green in color when I started using the filter a year ago. Now they are almost all brown or colorless. Does that mean I should be replacing them soon? No change in the way the water tastes though.

Yes you should change out your DI media once it turns yellow/brown, it means its exhausted.

I have about 170-180 going in, and 1 coming out.

ok, well i found one of my sources of the problems... and its pure stupidity on my part!! I had the waste water line going in to the DI, instead of the RO water. So I switched it, and have come upon a new problem. I have a constant stream of water coming out of the "waste" line, and NOTHING coming out of the RO line going into the DI canaster. does anyone have any idea? When i move that black switch to the flush position, i get a really strong stream coming out of the waste line, and a few dribbles coming out of the RO line...
