RO water turn brown when mixed with salt

yes, it's a new RO unit.
I flushed it for 30 minutes. At first the water was yellowish from the DI, but it cleared up after. I actually use a little to top off water as it looked all clear. Hopefully my tank will be ok?

It should state in the documentation for your RO unit how long it needs to be flushed before producing useable water.

The doc says just 15 minutes for the flushing, which I have done more than.
I just redid another bucket this morning after flushing the RO over night (unintentionally), it looks ok.
