deionized,
it is just another stage added to the filter that runs the water through some kind of chemical that strips out the last bit of solids.

I have seen the tds meters on some of the sites that sell ro units, or built into some of the high end units. Any store that is making and selling the water should have a tester there and be willing to test it for you.

WalMart now sells inexpensive handheld TDS meters in their Auto/RV dept.

Default RO stuff

be carefull with store bought RO water ubless you test it, or know they change their filters. I recently had a problem with RO water from a store before I bought Blue World.
