source is usually between 13 and 20. I haven't had the auto-flush plugged in in awhile so it would have helped to have that plugged in (cord wasn't long enough) but its had a pretty good run of 3 years. I need to change the DI (on order) before I can confirm that I need a new membrane but it seems likely that its the membrane just based on time alone.

That sounds sketchy. I'd measure a few more times and see if you can get a consistent reading.
Mine is probably not 0 anymore, but close enough.

Yeah it was zero again last night. I don't even know if I have the TDS meter hooked up right. I cant' remember where I got it but it had incredibly terrible instructions, they didn't translate well or something. I'll use my handheld one today when I get home. I'm wondering if the 9 reading was when I first turned on the system or something? Who knows. I have zero luck with technology it seems

all our TDS meters at work are inline I think. I might have to pursue that one
