WOW! If my tap water was 6ppm, I wouldn't even bother with RO/DI. I've been running my tank now for 2 years and just recently set up an RO/DI, and my tap water is at 170ppm.

I let it run for a few gallons and I tested 0 to 1 ppm so I thonk it just needed that! Thanks for all yhe help guys. However since I downgraded from my 125 to a biocube I am probably just going to run one of those small tap water pruifiers. So if anyone wants to by a rodi unit let me know! And thanks for the assistance.

If your RO system didn't run for a year - do not drink that water. Suggest you remove all the filters, including the membrane, sanitize the entire system, and install new filters.

Chances are your membrane has dried anyway - but you have to sanitize that system before you do anything.
