Just like the title says I have 0 TDS when it comes out of the RODI and in the mixing barrel that was just cleaned its 23. Is this normal? Its a 35 gal brute trash can.

Are you using the same meter?


Do you mix saltwater in the barrel? Residual salt is going to add tds,which is fine.

23 tds is very low for a barrel that's had anything in it. Only test tds of your rodi in a freshly cleaned and rinsed (in rodi) glass.

I did that once and my tds in the bucket where I mix salt was over 200+. If the rodi is saying 0 it's fine.
My RODI is 0 so it should be fine. But still 23 in the barrel. We have cats and the cats were drinking out of the barrel so I finally bought a lid and just making sure its good as possible.
