do you guys think it's necessary to have a tds meter as well? if so then I'd be interested in one of those, as well as a complete system.

A TDS meter, handheld or inline is essential for anyone who owns an RO/DI system!
It's the only true way to know when your filters are expired

I just changed out my filters every 6 months for the first two years. When I had some extra money I finally broke down and bought a TDS meter a few months ago. I must admit its handy to have but the whole time I have it it constantly reads 0 (which while a good thing, is rather boring )

Try using it the second you turn on the DI sometimes the settlement water will read in the 50's, or if you really wanna get creative you could always check your toilet bowl

I use my tastebuds . Like how I use my fingers to tell the temp off my tank. It works all the time.

FYI it Should come with a free TDS meter. Someone should clarify with Aquasafe.
