Once through the R/O it reads 0 so I don't use the DI, seems to be a waste of money if I can get a TDS of 0 without it.

Yeah thats what I was kind of thinking. Im getting 0 from just the RO, os why do I need the DI? Heck at 10ppm, I barely feel I need the RO! Of course it gets rid of chlorine and all kind of other stuff but I never realized how good Vancouver water was. Especially downtown, I thought it would be a little worse.

I would have thought the reading would be much higher than that. With all of the rain and snow run off the water tends to get turbid. Coquitlam has "coloured" water right now but safe to drink still.
